Those percs will outgrow that tank pretty quickly IMO. A tank that small you'd be better off going with a small goby.

I have a 7.5 gallon tank with a pygmy hawkfish and it grows algae like crazy. I do waterchanges on it weekly (almost need to do it twice a week). But the algae still grows. I'm thinking of removing the fish and putting a cleaner shrimp or something less maintenance in it.

Anyway, thats my two cents.

A 4 Gallon Nano would make a great Sexy Shrimp Species tank.

Maybe have a few of those little guys in there with some neon green hammers (depending on lighting).

Not sure on the best number to have in a 4 gallon tank but there's a Sexy Shrimp thread on nano-reefs.com

Add a neon goby or yellow clown goby & you'd have pretty neat little tank.

Yeah, I would look through nano-reef.com and take a look at the amazing tanks some of those are. Excellent DIY threads there and I think you'll find your answers pretty quickly.

I agree a small goby and some sexy shrimp would be great!

They require a decent amount of food to be in suspension...not sure if you would foul your tank up too quickly while trying to keep this guy from starving.
