    so my tank is sitting with no fishes because my last pair of clowns died from a bad case of ich.

    so i'm thinking of getting more fishes in about a week going to QT them for 4 weeks then put them in

    This is for my 10 gallon

    here's what i think

    option 1

    Pair of B&W saddle back clowns and a cleaner strimp
    Probably not getting B&W because i want black sand soon and they wont stand out


    option 2

    Pair of false perculas and a cleaner strimp


    option 3

    1 False percula and a bi color blennie + cleaner strimp and maby a clown gobie


    option 4

    pair or thrio of clown gobie's and something elese + cleaner strimp

    I personally would go with an Ocellaris and maybe a clown goby and a two spot goby or rainford's goby to keep the sand clean.

    BTW, the Saddleback Clownfish and Bicolor Blenny will want more room than a ten gallon. Saddlebacks get pretty big. Again, I would do a Clownfish or Damsel and a couple nano gobies. You can choose from Neon, Clown (There are a bunch of colors of these guys), Green Band, Rainford, Two Spot... There are more I cant think of. They're ideal nano fish-colorful, goo personalities, hardy, and practically no bioload.

    if you get those you better have a top

    the clown goby probably won't be much of a jumper though
