How many fish do you have in your nano?

I have a 22 gallon and have a pair of clown fish ( Nemo's ) a lawnmower blenny and 2 green chromis. I have tried to add other fish and the clowns just run them till they die. What do you other nano tankers have in your tanks? Just Curious!!!
 
Wow, thats a lot of fish for a 22gallon. Some people will suggest 3 or less for that size. For me, I have 3 fish in my 20H: a pair of clowns and a tailspot blenny....
 
I have two fish (one clown, one firefish) and a cleaner shrimp in my 18 gallon reef. Even these two fish might be too many for my tank because the firefish is scared to death of the cleaner shrimp!
 
I currently have one misbegotten clown in my pico. If I hadn't have purchased an addition piece of liverock with a headcold, he would already be in my 10...... but silly me, I trusted the LFS and couldn't smell a thing.... until I got home and my nose unstuffed for one, magical moment of swamp-belch quality stench coming out of the bag after I'd already put the rock in place in the tank.

The moral of the story:
Never go to an LFS with a headcold.
 
i got a gold pygmy angel...midas blenny....purple pseudo....and a blood shrimp....im planning on adding 2 cleaners and mayb 2 peppermints and 1 more fish(undecided mayb a small flame angel) in my 26 gallon
 
I've heard that you can just give yourself 1 inch of fish for every 3G of H2O. So if you've got a 20 gallon, you get about 7 Inches of fish to put in there. Sounds like with your stock, you're at about 8-9 inches. I wouldn't push it higher!

12g Nano Cube. I took the 2 small Fire Fish out as the Mystery Wrasse was starting to be less the friendly. :mad:
 
i love mystery wrasses!

I have two fish in my 22G, it used to be 3 :( and before that it was fishless!

Too many fish will mess up your water conditions, and in a nano, it just makes life more difficult :(

An Oc. clown that I've had for a year and a one inch yellow watchman goby in a 10 gallon.
Opps!! I meant to say 6 years.

not trying to hijack, but mixing those angels is going to be very difficult. Pygmies don't like living together, especially in very small tanks.
 
I have a in a 35gal cube w/ a 30gal refuge
Mystery wrasse
Green clown goby
Purple fire fish
Neon goby
Super small Orange fin tang (don't worry he's going in a huge tank very soon)
Blood shrimp
Pepermint shrimp
Emerald crab
banded serpant star
sps,zoos
 
I have an ocellaris clown, a pygmy possum wrasse and a purple firefish in my 29 Biocube. I plan on adding a blenny and maybe a fifth fish later.
 
I've got a clown & a firefish in a 20 tall. I'd like to get a yellow clown goby, but I think I need more hiding places first. The firefish acts like there aren't enough places to hide when the clownfish is being playful.

Did you add the chromis together? I have 1 in my 15 and love the little bugger. I'm considering adding one more but don't know how they'll do not being added at the same time.
