Some good ideas everyone

Some of this decision was made for me today when my boyfriend came home with a wonderful surprise of a very cute little yellow clown goby

I will try to post pic.'s later. So far this silly little guy likes to perch on top of the edge of the plug at the back of the tank

I was going to say a yellow clown Goby

I have two in my 24g. Aren't they super cute!

I pm'd you, I was wondering how your 2 gobies get along with each other.

My Rusty Angelfish swims the entire breadth of my 55G. I might feel guilty confining it to something half the size!

How about a Mandarin Dragonette (if it's eating frozen/mysis) and/or a Six Line Wrasse? You could also spice it up with some interesting inverts (linkia starfish, shrimp, etc.)

I was thinking about a 6 line wrasse (I really like them) but my concerns are: 1) do they need a sand bottom to sleep in? 2) is it likely that one will jump out or not? and 3) Will a six line pick on a yellow goby? Generally speaking of course.

Anyone know?

1-3) no, or at least not so with my previous six lines.
Rainford gobie might be a good choice, stays small, somewhat colourful, and generally pretty sociable.

I was actually going to suggest that, Catherine, but I'm not sure about keeping multiple gobies in such a small space? I have no experience with it, so it's all really speculation on my part.

I have a Six Line in my open-top, barebottom aquarium. He zips in and out of the rocks/corals and has a great ol' time. Or so it seems. No problems so far. And it's so cute, active and interactive.
