They are docile like a Clown Goby but they are smaller and more inclined to get by with less food. Do not use flaked food in this tank, it's not going to work that way. You're going to need to be careful that everything fed is eaten quickly and that the fish are not overfed. Your tolerances here are very tight and the slightest error will be magnified in such a small tank. Clown Gobies have a habit of watching food drop past them. Neons and Barnacle Blennies will not only grab food when it hits the water, they will also scavenge food from the substrate.

The orange organisms are Foraminifera.
Scooter Blennies are active pod hunters and have a very high probability of starving in a 10 gallon tank.

oh okay, i think i have read that before. maybe ill just stick with 2 clowns and thats it. seems like that will be easier to deal with. thanks bang!
So im working on something to hang my lights above the tank. i have decided that im not a fan of the legs holding the light onto the tank. i have the cables already i just dont know how im gunna make something to hang them on.

Painted electrical conduit can make a really clean look if you do it right. Most people use it for pendants though.
You should feel honored for having bang guy in this thread! He normally only types one sentance posts. That's the most I've seen him type in months! Lol

Ok I'll look into that, and yes I feel very honored! Found a nice rimless 11.5 gallon tank for around $50! I'll order it on Monday :)
