All i picture is 10g and the livestock and 1 rock center. I dont know your budget or equipment or husbandry ect. Lol
D
Equipment is basic, hob filter, 10lbs of rock, however I'm good at maintenance, I work at my LFS. I do 20% water changes on the 10 gallon weekly and it's nitrates measure at about 5ppm

I'm no scrub but also no expert. You might remember from my other thread that I wanted to put 8 fish in my 40 breeder haha. I have ocd and I'm impulsive so after thinking it through and posting that thread I decided to reduce it to 6 fish for a more moderate stocking

Hey guys, would these 3 fish be fine together in a 10 gallon?

-Firefish
-Green clown goby
-Yasha goby or wheelers goby

If they won't work together I'll re-home the green clown goby, please lmk

It's a 10 gallon with 10 lbs of sand, 10 lbs of rock, a Seachem Tidal 35hob filter, a 528gph power head and weekly 20% water changes, 3 months old.
Ya those will be just fine in a 10G. I wouldnt sweat it.

Here are some pics of the 10 gallon! There's a springers damsel somewhere in that photo but don't worry, he's just in there for quarantine before I put him in my 40 gallon tomorrow.

I've had more in a 6 gal and they did fine. My yellow clown goby swims all over the place after about 2 months in seclusion. The fire fish will jump...need a FULL top, will find the smallest slit. Need more sand for digging and not too coarse as it might "choke on it" if he sifts it although my convict gobies mouths rocks out of the way. The trick is to add slowly so the tank can adjust and maybe add on a small hob refugium such as the small finix with light or repurpose a "AllClear 35 or 50" fllter. (I think that is the brand, there are plenty of videos...just type in DYI NANO refugiums into youtube) You'll want some inverts to clean up..hermits and snails..pick some that will stir the sand maybe aq peppermint shrimp. A bubbler for O2
