Moorish Idol. Heh. (I kid, I kid)

I'm partial to various types of pygmy angelfish, like the flame angel or lemonpeel angel. Some of them nip at corals and clams, though....but then again, some don't

I'm not sure what the recommendations are for tank sizes for the pygmy angels. To be honest, for me, a 30g would be pushing the limits on the small size for one of those, although certainly could be done for a while if you got a small one (and then had a plan to give her a bigger home when she gets bigger), but, it sucks to have to give up fish. Check the recommendations, other people might know it better than me, but like I said, for me I think a 30g would be on the small side.

Small tank fish that come to mind: bicolor blenny, orchid dottyback, various gobies, royal gramma basslet, a blue assessor ...

I think I've seen Firefish recommended for tanks in the 30g range but they too are jumpers, so a non-lid tank is a no-no for firefish IMO.

These are just suggestions "off the top of my head", you should double-check that 30g is within the recommendations for tanksizes for these.

I'll read more info on a fish before buying and I check tank size/if they jump etc. Right now I'm looking for ideas or what other people keep with their perc's in a smallish tank. Thanks everyone for the imput so far

Hey Laurie,
If you are running that nano skimmer over new 30 Gal i don't reccomend adding any other fish. But if you have a decent protein skimmer that can handle 30 gallon i believe one of these guys will be a good addition. I kept a Royal Gramma in a 35 gallon with a pair of ocellaris clowns and a coral beauty angel but my clowns weren't agressive. Pseudochromis fridmani or Black Cap Basslet may be other options.They both are nicely colored , semi-agressive and territorial and good for 30 gallon. So I don't think that they will be intimidated by the clowns . Both sides will pick up their own territories and they won't touch eachother.
