Found a few more I really like:

Pacific Candy Basslet
Yelllow Assessor
Circus Goby
Blue Spot Jawfish
Red Head Elegant Pseudochromis
Strawberry Purple Pseudochromis really like this one http://www.marinecenter.com/fish/pse...pseudochromis/

Lined Dartfish


Now I just have to figure out which I can find and what will get along.

SO how well do species of gobies get along? I am having a very hard time figuring out what I can and cannot do.

I know blennies can get nasty, so I may not be able to add more. I have the two stripped ones and wanted a Canary yellow one but I will have to keep reading.

Its hard to find any good info on keeping all these small fish together. Not like Tangs or Triggers where there is an abundance of advice and knowledge out there. I guess many people keep them in nano's and have no interest in mixing too many species.

I have been very impressed so far with my Fang Blennies. Very peaceful and swim/use the 6' of the tank. Very entertaining to watch them hunting pods. They have huge fat bellies already...I guess between the pods and mysis they go nuts for, they are getting a lot of food. I feed three times a day.

Nothing i've read suggests the small gobies won't get a long, but I am still looking into it. I've seen a few goby only tanks though ranging from 20 gallons to 90 gallons...so i think for the most part you are okay with gobies. Every tank had a myriad of crevices nooks crannies, corals etc for them to perch and hide though, not open sand based systems, at least not the smaller ones anyways.

I have not found too much to suggest they don't either.

I am going to be picking up a few more this weekend, so we will see. Depends what J&L has right now though. Nothing as small as that Clown Goby I have already though...I never see him.

One of the Fang Blennies was super fat the last two days and I thought it just ate too much. I couldn't find it anywhere today and thought it maybe went down the overflow or something

Finally found "her" in a small cave. I couldn't figure out why she wasn't coming out for food until I saw the eggs. I guess she wasn't just fat! She has a decent amount of eggs in this tiny dark cave. I am guessing she had them already when I bought her. Or maybe they are a pair? But that seems kind of fast. They really don't leave each others side though until today.

Just thought it was kind of cool. I will try for pics but she choose an almost impossible place for me to photograph.

Well quite the day!

Went back to the tank and couldn't find the other blenny. My carpet anemone did though The anemone was pulling the blenny into its mouth as the blenny frantically tried to escape. Kind of sad to watch but thats nature. Very interesting to watch too.

I kind of figured fish instinctually stayed away from anemones like this.

sorry to hear about the fish Was there any way to intervene? por was it too late when you seen the goings on?

on your drain into the sump. Did you get the sump noise cleared up? I too am stuck with one drain hole in my tank. If I knew how easy it was to drill a tank before I started, I would have drilled it. But alas, Im stuck. I have a Durso style drain. with the ail vent up top. I also tried the T style thing down at the sump, to let the air escape instead of going into the sump with the water. I found it was noisy. The upright tube was like a megaphone. Did you have success with it?
