Hey all

Looking for advice, input, steer in the right direction, inspiration and schooling! So let 'er rip

My tank currently has about 6 or 7 Sexy Shrimp and a Cleaner Skunk Shrimp. You can see my Aquarium Journal. In addition to these Shrimp, I am thinking of going one of several routes.


1st Possibility:

Yasha Goby
Tailspot Blenny
Tanaka Wrasse
Red Firefish
more Sexy Shrimp


2nd Possibility:

Sand Sifting Goby
Pistol Shrimp
Starry Blenny
Six Line Wrasse


3rd Possibility:

Tanaka Wrasse Super Male
3 Tanaka Wrasse Female
Sand Sifting Goby
Tailspot Blenny

In a 10 gallon tank with that many shrimp, I think 2 or maybe 3 fish is it. I would skip the pistol shrimp as it will not get along, and may try to eat all the other shrimp in there. Tank is too small for a sand sifting goby IMO. Also probably too small for wrasse as they will starve after they hunt your copepods to extinction. Firefish is a solid choice. Yasha goby would be good. A royal gramma would be a nice addition.

I would go for xxs gobies like the masked, green banded, or court jester. A lot of fish will eat the sexy shrimps!

1 or 2 clowns...

I’d swap the starry lenny for a bicolor…
2nd, probably a shrimp too many
I like Carribean masked gobies

Definitely get a tailspot blenny. They are full of personality! I'm glad you didnt mention clowns in any of your options, they suck IMO

An actually funny clown, clown gobies are goofy and great too but their sense of humor is a little dry

I would forego the sixline, mine is still a juvenile but I can see spikes of aggression in him. If you must add a wrasse, a possum could work
