    yeah a scooter blenny or mandarin for a 10 gallon. first of all they grow 4 inches, but then again do they need lots of space? i'd think a 10 gallon would be fine because they swim so slowly, but i wouldnt know. second, i'd need to raise pods and be lucky enough to find one eating frozen, pellet, or flake food.

    The stocking sounds good, the only blenny that could go in a 10g would be a tailspot blenny and IMO I think you could add it only if you took off a fish in its place.

    if you put a mandarin or blenny in there make sure it eats cyclops or something, if it feeds exclusively off of pods in such a small tank it wont happen. but most blennies and gobies are considered true nano fish, and some like the clown gobies can be kept in tanks of about 5 gallons. you could ad 2-3 blue chromises, they are cheap and cool looking under actinics.

    scratch that maybe just 2 chromises as they need a bit of space to swim

    i've had some really bad experiences with chromis so i'll pass on that lol. if i ever do get a mandarin i'd probably sell all of my fish to my LFS or give it to a fellow 3reefer so the mandarin can have the tank to itself with no competition for food.

    that would most likely be best.
