Need Nano Suggestions

Petunia · 04-23-2006, 11:11 AM

I'm tearing down my 9 gallon nano and transferring most of it contents to a 30 gallon... now I need something to put in the nano. I wanted some specialty type fish but, can't find anything that is compatible for this small of a tank. The nano is 15" deep and 15" long, with the 50/50 lights that came with it. I was looking at seahorses - nope, not enough vertical space for one to swim; pipefish - nope, they need a larger tank.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

not sure on space needed but what about a small goby and pistol shrimp combo

Shrimp/Goby combo would be nice.

perhaps a hard to keep invert tank, mantis shrimp comes to mind, or a pair of fire/blood shrimp?

sargassumfish (Histrio histrio).

they do not need much room and would be pretty interesting to watch.

Rainsford Gobies are pretty neat- they stay relatively small so are hard to keep track of in larger tanks

If i may recommend you to a site...

go to http://www.marinedepotlive.com

They show the tank size and all that's needed. and if you get the
http://www.marinedepot.com catalog, they show more fish in there also.

It may take you a while to find a fish that fits in that small of a tank. But I've seen some with VERY little requirements

I'm thinking possibly a Leaf Fish Scorpion? Heres the link to that

Or maybe you prefer something more peaceful like a Panda Goby?
