Reef safe fish/shrimp for nano?

[myjohnson]

Thinking about adding a fish or shrimp to my nano.

What do you guys think I should get?

[nitty]

I have peppermint shrimp and a sixline wrasse in my nano-cube12

What ever it is, make should I want get over 2 1/2 inches

harlequin shrimp are awesome but you have to feed them starfish.... fire shrimp are cool looking too. as far as fish any small goby should work watchman, citron, green clown goby to name a few. maybe a purple firefish i always like the look of those....or clowns.

Mandarin

[myjohnson]

Can't get a mandarin. I would if I could. My tank is really just to small for one.

My damn gal keeps talking about a nemo!

But my tank is to small for them too.

I might just get the smallest one I can fine and when it gets bigger give it away to someone that wants it.

Get a maroon clown and I'll get him from you in 6 months (lol).

[Darbex]

Well put one in the big tank you are going to get

You got a 1K I can borrow?

Still debating on that tank man. I'm paying 1.2K a month for student loans. Talk about debt!

[Darbex]

Damn thats a lot for student loans and I thought mine were high

both are small..and the sexy shrimp is lovely...

[Mzungu]

Your right you cant go with a mandarin. what size is this nano? And how much time/$$$ you want to put into this nano? Some shrimp might become opportunistic and steal from your corals if it becomes hungry and all shrimp stay hungry but are great cleaners. I have heard of them killing snails and eating polyps. I have a peppermint shrimp in my 75 gallon. I keep him just to clean and eat any aptasia that might come in on a frag (my tank has never had aptasia, though i have purchased corals from tanks full of it). He steals food from my corals and he will attack my hand for food. Some fish like the clown goby are very shy and you will never find if you upgrade to a larger tank later. I would recommend some of the easier more active fish. fire dartfish, or even ocellaris clown. Both will eat flake food, will not eat your corals, are cheap, plus you will see them swimming right up front.

[myjohnson]

Thanks for the info. I still haven't decided what to get yet.

What are you feeding your corals?

[Darbex]

I am interested as well. Post some pics of your tank so we can all drool over it.
