    Right on man. Sounds pretty good. I think a little blennie would be ideal, maybe look into a pistol shrimp goby pair, and have that as the "Main attraction".. I think its worth a shot.

    I would do a pistol/goby but I'm already doing one in the cube.:/ the lawnmower on its own is awesome.:D cool little fish.

    Woah you just read my mind! I think I'll go with a green clown goby. There small an colorful. It's a negatory on the lawnmower because they get to be 5".

    Yeah my lfs had a clown goby and i was like holy shiz thats a small fish! lol pics online dont do it justice. It coulda fit on my thumbnail. If you go that route perhaps a second small blue neon goby too, those are so tiny, im sure it be no problem.

    Yeah! I've heard from a from a few threads that these small gobies are hard to feed.

    I'm sure you add pods to the tank after the cycle and let them populate that a goby wouldn't be a problem at all.

    Maybe...what if you moved the rocks to be completely submerged? I know chelseagrin said it looks like it needed to be topped off, which I somewhat agree with, please don't take offense, if you moved the Lr under water though it might look more...natural I suppose? Just a thought
