Clown Gobies (I love my rivulatus)
 
Neon Gobies (Let me know if you ever find sharknosed Neon Gobies)
 
In fact go check out the Dr. Fosters web site and look under nano fish! Tons of great ideas I would just research anything first but its a start at least. I have the two fish above in my 10 gallon reef and an Occelaris. I plan on a firefish also and that will probably about do it for fish in there.

i dont want anything that eats the bugs though. i am using this tank more as a refugium/tank. it grows chaeto right now and some other macro's and then the live sand in it. i am using it more to help new people who need live sand and algae. does that make sense?

Rainford's will eat pods, however they are exquisite fish.

I don't know of any fish that will not eat pods. Even sand sifting fish like a twinspot goby would do fine in a 10g but probably eat the pods that were on the sand.

The chaeto will make a good type of hiding place, but not completely.

My advice if you want it to be a refugium style tank is to leave it fishless. Is it hooked up to a running system? You might need to feed those macro's some nitrates.

Also IME that chaeto will quickly fill a 10g and leave no room for the other macro's. I give out chaeto to local reefers at least once a month, sometimes I just toss it in the dumpster. I have a couple of 20's filled with it. JME.

Sorry I can't be of any help.

it is not hooked up to a running system. if the chaeto needs nitrates then i need to put fish in it right? i have seperated the tank though with some acrylic and the chaeto is on one side and the live sand on the other.

Refugium = no predator access, fish love podsPig
