Thanks! I just looked up the Yellow Fin Fairy Wrasse and will be adding that to my list I think! Very nice. I like the coris wrasse but I think they get a bit bigger. I want to stay small if possible with this tank. Looks like that Fairy Wrasse stays under 3".

Well, other than the mated mandarins (maybe just one, I have live food so no problem) and the Possum wrasse I would Like:
Green Clown Goby - Gobiodon atrangulatus
Spotted Watchman Goby - Cryptocentrus leptocephalus
Red Headed Goby - Gobiosoma puncticulatus - RedHeaded Gobies
Trimma Goby
My little red headed jawfish of course

Oh and a couple blennies
Starry Blenny and Red Spotted Blenny (Istiblennius chrysospilos)

I would also love a Blue Sapphire Damselfish but i never see them

There are other gobies, but seem next to impossible to get, as well they require a darker tank which mine will not be.

Any suggestions ?

Oh yeah I have tentatively on the list a Discordipinna griessingeri

Nice list. I have no suggestions for you...I was hoping to get some myself!

I don't know much about gobies. Do they mostly all get along? I would love to keep a bunch of small ones if possible.
