Best nano fish

[codyreed29]

I am wondering what are some of the best fish. A few i could think of Yellow clown goby,yellow watchman goby, firefish, clownfish, and sixline wrasse.

Most colorful fish is what I'm trying to get.
so far yellow watchman goby another question is will a yellow watchman goby pair with shrimp? All shrimps what kinds of shrimps?

Yellow watchman gobies will bond with pistol shrimp. I have a pair. Tons of fun to watch.

Pistol shrimp are cool. But they will bulldoze all your sand in the bottom to anywhere they want to. And when you flatten it, they will do it again.

Thanks wasn't sure which shrimp. I only have about a hnadfull or so of free sand in the bottom of my tank. My goby lives near the sand and under his rock. most of the tank is epoxyed sand like barebottom. Rgw powerhead sucks all the sand under it and Goby's litle village.

I'm not sure I would add a 6 line to a nano. They tend to be territorial.

Oh didn't know that either

I really like my firefish gobies. They spend alot of time in the front of the tank and they are alot of fun to watch eat. I'll purposefully put the food on the opposite end of the tank to watch them race across to eat it.

Yellow and green clown gobies are colorful and peaceful.....

I love the Eviota and Trimma gobies - they really shine in small tanks and have some great social interaction if you keep a group. Eviota pellucida (E. atriventris) is one of my favourites: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+31+2613&pcatid=2613

Add the six line last, they are great and very cool to watch. Mine is peaceful, with a clow and a firegish for tankmates, never a problem. He is always out and about picking at rock and in and out of rock structure. The eyes are especially cool to watch flick and move.

I have a Midas blenny and fairy wrasse that are pretty colorful.

 

[codyreed29]

I think I will add a midas and clownfish. Percs or occelaries.? Or maybe lawnmower blenny?

 

[leveldrummer]

what size is the nano?

a royal gramma is hard to beat for color. firefish are great additions to any tank. blennies come in lots of different colors and add a great fish to watch.
neon gobies are tiny, very good fish for a nano.
rainsford gobies are cool, but they sometimes make a mess of sand.

 

[codyreed29]

34 gallon or so

I've not had an issue with either of my candy cane pistol shrimp. I have one in a 55 & one with a Yasha goby in a 20L.

you want cheap or expensive? only so much bioload so choos wisely, ehh? check out the flaming prawn goby, very cool, and they stay pretty small. beware, they hide a lot, which is why i prefer them in a nano, where they are seen more even for their efforts not to be.
