-2 clowns(percula or occelaris)
-1 cherub angel
possible others:
-hi fin goby
-rainfords goby
-spotted prawn goby
-royal gramma

and then theres the issue with can i add a fith fish which wud be a YCG
so just pick out of the list or suggest something else

help is very appreciated

I have been really happy with my Orange spotted Sand Goby/Diamond Goby (From Red Coral) as he sifts the sand but does not bring it up onto corals.
Also consider a Wrasse as I LOVE my wrasse - very active, very striking, lots of personality and an easy, hardy fish!

I have these in a 27G, no sump with 2 clowns and alot of coral and I am fully stocked - having nitrate issues, so I wouldn't add anymore to my system. However the sump would help and a YCG is a very small addition to the bioload.
Good Luck with your choice!

thanx, but im not really looking for a wrasse. the pygmy angel has already kinda filled the spot for very active.

i should have mentioned origionaly that i would like something mostly for the bottom level of the tank

ive been considering oen, but i was thinking it would get too big and also i wouldnt want it to accidentaly dig too far under a rock and cause an avalache..

but still, i will consider it

i had an avalance had redo all rock. but never got too big for my 34 g RSM. according to some sites a 10g is big enough. i would believe it too mine never ventured very far from its home.
