what kind of fish for a 8g


I just started a build for an 8g nano. it's just about completed it's cycle and i will soon be able to start adding corals and inverts. I'm begining to brainstorm what kind fish to put in it.

I'm in no hurry to add a fish, in fact i won't be able to for a while because we are currently about to up grade our 29g to a 40g breeder and we have a sixline that will have to live in my 8g for a month or so, just so we don't run into any problems with him trying to take over the hierarchy.

I only intend on putting one fish in the tank. I like colorful fish, i don't really want a clown, call me crazy but their popularity irritates me. I really like Wrasses. And goby's.......if their colorful. I've been reading up on the Possum Wrasse....anyone had any experience with them? I've also thought about a Damsal of some sort, but i really like to find a Wrasse.

Any feedback would be helpful

Thanks

I had a carpenters wrasse in my 5.5 for a while I don't think I fed him enough and he died



My all time favorite was my sailfin blenny. I murdred him letting him get sucked into a filter but he had the greatest personality

I like both of those pics. She's also been looking at a rainford's goby if anybody has any experience with those. We're worried about providing it with enough algae.

I had a hectors for awhile (similar to a rainsford) I couldn't get it to eat prepared foods. I moved it to the big tank but never saw it again

I like the little clown gobies...
a citron goby is pretty cool, we have a green clown goby that lives in our sump, by his choice - I got tired of ripping everything out to get him out so he lives there now

almost anything in the blenny family is bound to have an awesome personaily
we have a tail spot that I just love in the 55

Barnacle Blennies are cool. If I had sand in my tank, Id definitely have one.
