pistol shrimp/goby pair? Going to have to be a really tiny fish whatever you choose. I understand the need to start small and work the hobby up as you go, just keep in mind that a smaller tank like this is typically alot harder to maintance properly than a larger system (less water, less room for error and all) so don't get too discouraged if it's more work than you thought it would be, a larger system would be easier if/when you upgrade.

As far as fish go, you could get a yellow clown goby. They only top off at around 2".

You may also want to try the Nano Forum. There's a lot of great information there.

i'd say get 15 triggerfish and 10 tangs, should easily be enough room to accomodate these badboys
