10g and 5g stock suggestions

10gal I recommend maybe 3 or 4 corydoras they are always entertaining :laugh:
another cool fish I had that I CANT Find again was something I bought years ago and had for a good 2 years. They were what they called Freshwater drawf groupers (Im assuming an AKA name) that only got to be about 3" I had 3 of em. NEVER seen them again. They looked exactly like groupers except small with a spotted brown/grey/white pattern (I Cant remember if they were brackish or not).
hmm....also maybe dwarf gouramis? I dont know I dont have much experience with smaller mid-swimmers. but cories definately get my first bet.
as for the 5 gal...maybe a couple of tetras and a few plants?

Holy Moly, Theres a fish that looks like a saltwater grouper and stays only 3 inch, I must have this fish. the grouper is on my top 3 of salt water fish but the only reason i dont have one is because they get like 1 foot and they require saltwater. I will find it!!

Im with you on the grouper thing....absolutely one of the coolest saltwater fish. Ive done my share of looking (not a lot though) but I will try to see what I can turn up.
Im going to assume with all the research Ive done as of yet that its not an exact subspecies but more of just a common name so keep that in mind.
EDIT: I just remember I took pictures of the little guys that I MAY still have on my old computer. this should get interesting

FOUND IT! I rule the internet
anyway scientific name: Vespicula depressifrons
Common name: Butterfly waspfish. Often sold in the US as a butterfly goby or freshwater butterfly grouper.
oh and I found this website with tons of pictures and a lil bit of info
http://www.aqualandpetsplus.com/Oddball,%20Butterfly%20Goby%20or%20Wasp%20Fishl.htm
I found them to be quite interesting. with my 3 they tended to school around during feedingtime. during the day they would "lounge" around on the sand unless there was a reason to get up but they were pretty active otherwise
