Thanks guys for the suggestions.

If I were to get a six line, would one from Fiji or Indo Pacific be better?
 
Fair enough must have a nice one :).

Not really i dont think but if u can get a hawiian one its green and bit different in colour pattern.
 
Yup, like N1Z said, the only "different" version of the sixline is the hawiian one. I actually wouldn't go with a sixline though... They can become bullies with age years down the road.
 
Alright, noted and changed.

Did some searches and came up with some ideas:

Golden Neon Goby
Blue Neon Goby
Yellow Watchman Goby
Orange Striped Prawn Goby? (questions on this one)
Court Jester Goby
Yellow Clown Goby
Hector's Hover Goby
 
I keep on reading that they can be put in reefs but they have a chance of picking at corals. I don't want to take the chance. Thats wy I said they arent reef safe (for my reef).
Sorry to be a pest, but... whoever told you this is mistaken, to put it in a nice way. In the wild they eat crustaceans, such as shrimp and small crabs, and they may do the same in aquaria; which is why they should be introduced to a reef with some caution. However, never, but never, has there been even an anecdote of them picking at a coral. It does not happen, even if they are starving to death. That's one thing I'm certain of.

I also would avoid a sixline... they are a too common sight in my opinion. Any fish on your list would be an excellent candidate, but be aware that Hector's and Court Jester (Rainford's) Gobies are very difficult to feed, being along the same lines as mandarins and scooter blennies; they often starve to death in aquaria because they overpredate the microfauna in a smaller tank very rapidly.
