I bought a new 10 gallon tank got the sand, some tonga branch rubble, rio skimmer, and my halide going.

Today I bought 2 green clown gobies, and 2 citron clown gobies, and a tiny little percula. I want to know what other small colorful fish would be good to keep in a 10 gallon.
 
I wouldn't put more than you just bought in a tank so small, but thats just me. You have to fight rapid changing salinity and consider available oxygen in that size.
 
Thats more of a freshwater rule than a saltwater rule. Think about a reef vs a freshwater river/lake. Saltwater fish are used to A LOT more space per fish when you look at the total water available. I had big ambitions when i first got into saltwater. This was based on my YEARS of freshwater experience. I look back now and shake my head at myself (does that make sense?)

I personally would have done only 2 of the gobies and then the clown. The clown will get bigger and do more damage to the water. The water quality is really what you are worried about.
 
I have a skimmer on the tank and do weekly 1 gallon new mixed water and one gallon of water out of my 75 gallon.

The clown is soo tiny my citrons are way bigger. and they are only like half an inch long.
 
dude way to many fish for a 10 gallon. when i had 10 gallon up i had three fish and was running a skimmer. saltwater is alot differnt then freshwater. if they where the same you could put a tang in there as long as he did not get over 10 inches. trade some of them out before they die and crash the tank.
