    Are there any you find neat looking?

    There are quite a few choices of fish, so name some and we can help narrow your choices down by what you want to keep in the tank, and other variables.

    look into fairy or flasher wrasses. Also Anthias are awesome as well, but difficult to keep.

    I had a lawnmower blenny that would sit in my hand and pick at my arm while I was doing stuff in the tank..sure do miss that little bugger. Gobies and blennies are pretty cool and pseudochromis are too, but some of those guys can be on the aggressive side. Pixie Hawkfish, Cardinalfish, Basslets, and possibly pygmy angelfish..the true pygmy and not the generic term for centropyge angels.
    Check out marinecenter.com. Its what I use to look up different fish and they have pretty accurate ratings on the fish as well.

    clowns add so much life to the tank. i would recommend a pair.
    my six lined wrasse is one of the funniest fish i have ever kept. he is awesome. so much personality.
    my yellow watchman goby is also very personable.
    scooter blennies also really put on a good show.
    and these are all compatible too.
    look them up and do some research. you can never learn enough in this hobby!
