Fish for 6 gal nano reef?

[gordob]

Aside from Rainford Gobies, Clown Gobies, and Royal Grammas, can anyone suggest some fish for a small nano reef tank? The tank is between 5-6 gallons....I don't know for sure. Also, how many fish can we do. (I know that depends on which type.) This tank will be pretty heavily stocked with rock and corals (mostly softies and LPS). We also have a small Aquaclear HOB filter that we've converted to a refugium with Chaeto in it. We're in the peak of our cycle right now, and plan on adding snails and crabs first when the cycle is done.

Thanks for the suggestions!!

I'd scratch Rainford gobies off the list, I heard they are finiky eaters and have been know to starve to death.

2 fish would be about all I would put in there, maybe a small goby and a firefish

Here's a goby thread, all sorts are pictured here.

5-6 gallons is too small for anything other than one tiny goby, ether a neon goby or clown goby.

Agree. I think you could do a pistol shirmp goby pair or a small clown goby. I think a firefish is too big, and so is a royal gramma. All I would try are the smaller gobies.
