Stock list for 5 litre pico tank

[Tang lover]

This pico tank is a cube shaped pico with wavemaker which is very tiny and a back part for filtration. It is 4 litres and 1 to 2 litres with filtration back part counted could I maybe add a little tiny tiny 0.5cm clown in there for a couple months then move him into a 40l or even a little tiny 0.5cm chromis or do you think I should just stick to a goby

It is 6.14 inches long which is 15.5 cm’s long

I think I would resist the urge to keep a fish in this small of a tank and just stick with coral only. There are also some small inverts that you could keep in a tank like this that would be worth looking into. i.e. sexy shrimp, bumblebee shrimp, small hermit crabs etc.

Okay I am just looking for opinions thanks I will probably gonna stay away from it depending on the majority’s answere’s

Too small for any typical reef fish, coral garden sized.

What about  if I put a little 2cm jewel damsel in there for about 3 weeks I need a place to put him until I get a bigger 7gallon pico running so only 3 weeks 

And I can’t buy him when I get the tank running in three weeks he is the only one in the wholesaler and they rarely ever see jewel damsel it’s not common in the aquarium trade

oh hell no, way too small for any fish. Stick with corals. Maybe an astraea snail. Definitely no to the damsel, they are really bold and active once settled in, just honestly no to any fish in such a small volume of water.

Honestly small nano tanks are great but they're not for fish. From your other posts you seem mostly interested in keeping marine fishes more than corals and sessile inverts so best to try and get the biggest tank(s) you can really. Not cramming beautiful, sentient animals in tiny glass boxes because you happen to think they look cool, for them to die a pretty unpleasant death because the living conditions are woefully inadequate.
