help me choose a fish

[mle421]

i have a 10 gal. nano, which occupies one true perc. so i'm looking for a rock or substrate dweller now, since i already have a swimmer. i have two hitch-hiker pistols, so i'm thinking about a watchman goby, but i also think clown goby's are adorable. but since i only get to have two fish, i want something that isn't gonna hide all the time. the fish i would really love would be a bi-color blenny, i love how they jump all around the tank and are not shy, but i dont think my tank is big enough for one so any other suggestions?

I think the shrimp gobies are fun. Jawfish are cool but not sure how out in the open it would be. I love the clown gobies.

 

[mle421]

how out in the open are yellow watchman goby's?

yellow watchman goby's?

That may work but mine really likes to swim. Yellow clown goby or some type of firefish would work as well.

I have a yellow watchman and he pretty much sticks around a small area. I do see him lots but he likes to hang in the same area. I call him grumpy because it looks like he is always frowning. I get a kick out of him

 

[mle421]

hmmmm i'm still torn between a yellow clown goby and a yellow watchman goby!

i'd say a purple firefish

 

[mle421]

purple firefish are cute, but i dont really want another swimmer, i think i'm gonna go with a citron clown goby.

Go with the yellow watchmen goby. They are fun to watch build a burrow and filter the sand.

Mine really is not. He spends a lot of time sitting outside his sand cave. If you go with a yellow watchman you should consider getting a pistol shrimp as well. Their symbiotic relationship is just as cool to watch ans the clownfish/anemone one.
