Nano Fish

[Collin]

Hi guys I'm looking to add another fish to my 20 gallon to go with my clown pair. Any recommendations?

I'm a big fan of the sailfin blenny. Colors are muted but I love how it just perches somewhere and gives you a dirty look all day. On the plus side it'll help you keep your tank clean of algae as well.

Aside from that I have 2 firefish, nice to look at but they kind of just hover in place and if they get spooked they hide.

These yellow clown goby's are cool too. Add a bit of color at an inexpensive price.

Royal grammas are pretty sweet: they can swim upside down and go in and out of caves. Blennies are cool: they perch on rocks and scuttle about. Gobies are bottom dwellers. I like my coral beauty, but some people have issues with them nipping corals.

I just got a Purple Firefish from the Fish Nook for the school tank... Now I am super jealous of the school tank! I think that is my new favorite fish. I want to say it was 50-60 at The Fish Nook (40 on Live Aquaria so not a bad mark up for picking up local and fed)

I had an diamond goby, loved to watch him move sand... till I had coral down on the sand bed!

Yellow watchman gobys are a great addition.

I have a Randals goby and pistol shrimp pair in my nano and love watching them work together.

What do you guys think about the high fin red banded goby?

+1 on this combo (or any smaller shrimp goby) I love watching the pair I have. They just created a new entrance to their dwelling within the past few days lol...

How much sand would you recommend for a shrimp/goby duo

You can go without sand

A diamond goby will starve in a nano. In nature they patrol an 8'x8' area.

I had one thriving for 2 years in my 25 gallon cube with crushed gravel substrate. He ate daily pellets and once/twice a week got brine shrimp. I guess the supplemental feeding helped mine out. Mine only died because I had an ich outbreak and I moved him into a tank to do copper and screwed up and killed everything
