Unusual fish for a 10 gallon

[FishNutty]

I'm looking for a unusual fish for my 10 gallon mixed reef. I've already got a small perc clown, though[Might find him a new tank if I can find something interesting enough that he won't get along with....:hmm2:]. Any suggestions?

10 gallon is too small for the perc let alone anything else and, theres not much you can do with this size from a fish point of view.

While I agree that A. percula might not do well in that sized tank, a goby/shrimp combination should do well.

I agree that a goby/shrimp combo would do just fine. Other smaller gobies such as cleaners, clowns, and eviotas should work fine. If you feel comfortable with the cost, a flaming prawn goby might be a good choice as you may actually manage to see it from time to time in a ten gallon tank.

All good ideas. I vote for a pair of small shrimp gobies and their commensal shrimp. They're very entertaining to watch.

You can add another vote for this option. Flaming prawn goby are indeed spectacular!

The perc might be a bit big, but you have almost unlimited choices in small gobies & blennies. Even a small Dottyback by itself would make a good choice..

i like the idea of a goby/shrimp pair, but i don't have the course sand for burrowing

for burrowing you shouldnt have a lot of coarse sand cause it can cause rashes. sugar fine sand or a little larger would be best with a little bit of coarse sand to reenforce the walls.
