goby/shrimp pair?

[Sea_Of_Treachery]

ok i have a 2.5g pico thats cycled and been set up for over a month. Would a goby/shrimp combo be ok in this tank? i was thinking a tiger pistol with a red banded hi fin, orange spot prawn goby or a yellow watchman.

im sure it will be ok just dont add any other fish and do ur normal waterchange and provide hiding places for the shrimp

ok i was planning on doing the same thing in my new one gallon

I hate to be a dick guys.

And I know this is NANO-reef.

But this 1 gallon, 2 gallon ###### is just plain mean.

You want to stick a fish in a ####### gallon or two of water?

 

I used to be a fisherman, so I'm not all PETA and ######, I've whacked my share of fish, but it's a ####### GALLON of WATER!

 

Keep some corals, some little zoas.

Maybe a shrimp...because...well screw shrimp.

 

I'm not judging you guys...well, I am.

Please make a nice tank. It's small, it's interesting from a chemistry/physics stand point, but what kind of fish wants to live in a gallon of water.

I've lived in Manhattan and I'm 6'8", trust me...it sucks, and I got to go outside a lot.

I have to agree with bigbabich here, all the research i've done on fish indicates that there isn't much that will live in a pico fishwise, not happily. After all, the only rule of thumb you'll ever hear involving gallons is "1 fish per 5 gallons or fewer".

[xavier1]

ok i respect your opinion and after really thnking about it(and what words go in the "###"s place your right

[Sea_Of_Treachery]

alright, im gonna make an order soon, should i get 2 sexy shrimp and a medium 3-5" colony of green shrooms, or a cbs with 2 zoo colonies and 2 rics? i thought about it last night as well, im going fishless

I tend to agree with the above posts.

 

2 gallons is really too small for a fish to be happy. I could survive, given excellent water parameters and top-notch maintanence, but it would not thrive.

 

I personally would never put a fish in anything less than 5 or 6 gallons, and even then, it would be 1 small goby.

 

A 1 gallon, though? Out of the question. I think pico tanks are very interesting and I'd love to set one up at work, but I wouldn't put a fish in there. Sexy shrimp are very cool, as are snails and crabs.

 

The whole point of nano-ing and pico-ing is to keep it simple: less equipment, less livestock.

 

(On an aside... I wonder what bigbabich said to get the ####'s. "dick" made it through, but not #####)

go with the sexy shrimps, a cbs will eventually get pretty big.

 

Also, IMO if I had a pico I wouldn't be against putting in something like a neon goby

EDIT: Doh!

[bigbabich]

sorry about my tear. I was a bit whiskey'd up last night.

I don't think fish should be put in such small tanks, but I'm normally a little more political about it.

 

I'm such a ####### #######.

You can always use the f-(k!^g A$$H@!e trick. To make your point.

Glad you both are going fishless that is best for such little tanks.

Shrimp are cool but CBS do get big.

Yeah it sounded like you were on an alcohol-induced tyrade. lol

 

Don't worry about it. I get drunk and become a ##### ##### sometimes, too.

[schaadrak]

Do the "#"s also double as a rating system? I've noticed different numbers of them representing words. Do more "#"s mean a worse word?

 

The worst word I can think of is ################################################################################

########

 

So we'll see how many that generates.

 

EDIT: Whoa.
