13 gallon nano reef stocking

[warthur]

Hey guys,
I have a few options as to what I am going to stock my new nai with and would like some advice.

Option 1:
1 Miami White Ocellaris Clown
1 Blue dot jawfish
1 carpenter's flasher wrasse
(Would consider a second clown down the line)

Option 2:
1 golden dwarf moray eel
(2 small fish that is wouldn't eat. Would need help picking those out)

Option 3 (least likely due to cost):
1) Candy basslet
2) blue/green chromis
1) yellowhead jawfish

Any other suggestions I will take. Please give me some feedback on which option you think I should go for or whether or not I should go with something else

I love clowns you could also look at clown gobies a lot of those stay small and a note on the clowns if you want 2 add them at the same time it's easier there less likely to fight all the time and are more likely to become a pair. However if you do get a second clown later just make sure it is small so the one you already have doesn't have to fight for dominance ( adding at the same time works better though)

Thanks for the advice, if I go with that one I'll probably add a second clown later so I can slowly build up the bio load. I'll take a look at the gobies

I wouldnt do any of the plans. All of those fish are too big for a 13 gallon tank. The only fish that can fit in that size tank are gobies and maybe a firefish

The dimensions are 22 x 12 x 15 I figured I could go with some of them since their is some run space. The eel especially since this species stays in the rocks a lot and only reaches aroun 10''. If it's still too big and a clown is as well am I looking at literally just a goby/pistol shrimp and maybe a Swissguard basslet?

The basket and goby would be ok. The eel will be too big and clowns really shouldn't be in a tank less than 20 gallons

1 clown and goby/shrimp pair would work. Royal gramma has nice color

My 1.5 inch clown uses up all of my 90 gallon I cant imagine one in a 13 gallon
