They do just fiiiine together... everybody has a diferent rule about size of tank and what kind of fish you can have...some people even say that my tank is to small for fish, but i have no problem what so ever with them.

Yea, that 'general' rule of thumb of 5 gallons per inch... eh, seems liek a waste, i'm going to have at least 3 fish in my ten for a while (upgrading to a 30 within the next few months), mainly becuz i have a yellow watchman that hangs out in its burrow under the rockwork, and a clown that hangs out in a frogspawn all day, so really their is alot of open space, and i can handle the bioload. and nice tank as always demartini

i forgot to say that if you have enough LR and keep up on water changes those fish will do fine... and i do understand that there are fish that you cant keep in small tanks, such as blue hippo tangs which i wish i could have reeeaaallllyyyy bad!
