    Fake perculas are cheap, peaceful, and stay somewhat small

    I wouldn't put a six line in a 10. I had one in my 90 and he used the whole thing. They are very active swimmers and love to pick at rock and such.

    a clown will be fine but ya i second not putting a 6 line in.
    a yellow watchman goby or clown goby will work though.

    Ya, I think a small goby would be really nice. I have a green band goby and I love him.
