Physh1 Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 2 too many fish for that tank. I think firefish are a bad choice for suck a small tank personally....they may hide alot but they like a lot of roaming room. Cameron Link to comment
TANMAN5192 Posted September 29, 2003 Author Share Posted September 29, 2003 CAN ANY ONE TELL ME WHAT FISH ARE GOOD 4 NANO REEFS? Link to comment
ELGORDOINAVW Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 a citron gody, or a watchman goby. i personally would not but more than 1 fish per 10 gal. Link to comment
caja Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Chris our wonderful admin has put together a list of nano suitable fish in this article: http://www.nano-reef.com/fish/ I kept two fish in my Eclipse 6 but it's not recommended. Big bioload means lots of maintenence. Go for 1 fish. Turn off your caps lock. Link to comment

Chamkeeper Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 If you are going to get a Camelback they re not considered 'coral friendly' or 'reef safe', so unless you change your stocking plan lighting is irrelevant. Link to comment

Jahkaya Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 the 26 watts is plenty for all but the Anenome. Anenomes are generally not beginner animals and some do not even belive they belong in a tank. Stick the Brain towards the top of the tank and you should be fine. I would still shoot for 3x13. Stick with one small fish unless you like to do water changes twice a week. You may be able to get away with one false perc or 2 neon gobies. you may look into an HOB fuge to add volume and stability to your system. Link to comment

mattie Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 do know any one that has a yellow strip maroon I had one as it got big I she became very aggressive and a moroon clown would kill or starve out an other fish in 6 gal not to mention the bio load how about 1 fire fish 2 hermits blue or red legs and some extra shells 3 astrea snails 1 peppermint shrimp or skunk and shrooms and polyps stay away from anonemes (ultra hard to keep in a nano) start with polyps and shrooms I agree with jahkaya on the lighting and hold of the brain untill every thing has been up and running for 4-5 months Link to comment
