Just a reminder...

...I've added some fish to the "Nano Reef Fish" sticky at the top off the forum. I know it's slow going, but once done it should be a good little resource. If you have any fish you'd like me to include, or hosted pictures that I can use, please let me know. Thanks!

You must add the clown gobies.

I love mine, he looks just like a little swiming cheto. He is very peaceful.
I didn't post the clown gobi specifics there because I didn't want to just throw my 2 cents into the sticky.

I'll get to it, promise.

I like to do the hardest work last, so the goby family will probably be the last one added. It's gonna be huge!

 

[Anonymous]

Cool.

I so love my Nano. Wish I had more to add, but my experience is with just a few fish, and a few corals.

Will there be a sticky for nano inverts as well?

What about watchman gobies? That's another mutualism relationship (in addition to the ubiquitous clownfish/anemone relationship) that works very nicely in a peaceful tank.

Can't get much more peaceful than a nano in most cases...

Can't forget greenbanded gobies. Small, available CB, and beautiful. Here's mine:

:roll: I must have one of those!

Wow that really is a sweet looking fish. Nice photo skills Mogurnda!

This is what I mean, there are so many gobies out there...

Speaking of Gobies....

Still waiting.

If you need help with this stuff, I'd be willing to work on some basic layperson research for you to get this moving. Just let me know the layout and format you would want information sent too you. I do not have a digital camera though, So I can't get pictures for you.

dunno if u planed to add this but in the gramma section u missed the black capped gramma. nice looking fish but is a bit mean sometimes

 

[Anonymous]

I will probably do a separate gramma section, including the black capped basslet.

Thanks...

In about two years this will get done.

Alf,
If you'd like to just come up with common names and scientific names with fish you think I should add just PM them to me. The only criteria is that they're reefsafe, small enough to fit in AND DO WELL in a 20 gallon (I'm not putting mandarins in!)
It would be a great help. Don't worry about pics.

 

[Anonymous]

Awrighty, I will get started in the gobies then.

 

[Anonymous]

Sweet! Thanks.

invert, you were right, I forgot I already lumped in the gramma with the basslets. I went ahead and added the blackcap.

Regarding the inverts list... after thinking about it a bit, there isn't really a good reason to make a list. Listing corals and clams would be silly--you can basically keep anything that you can in a larger tank, with the exception maybe of corals that need heavy feedings. You can also basically keep all of the available shrimp in tanks as small as 10 gallons, as well as all the serpent and brittle stars. The only thing you CAN'T or SHOULDN'T keep, IMO, are any sea cucumbers, starfish, sea urchins (basically all the echinoderms save the ophiourids) or other animals that need large surfaces to graze food from or need large amounts of planktonic type food. This pretty much includes all the starfish, urchins, and sea cucumbers. Another no-no in my opinion is host sea anemones in small tanks, but I think most host sea anemones shouldn't even be attempted even in large tanks so my opinion is a bit skewed Otherwise anything that works in a large tank should be fine in a small one...as long as you have a future home for stuff that will eventually outgrow the tank, like a Tridacna clam or something.

Sorry, Gobies are coming along rather slowly. I recently moved and can't find my box with my books. I haven't forgotten that I agreed to do this.

 

[Anonymous]

No worries my man. I went a little bizarro on it last week but there's still a long ways to go.

 

[kris_willard]

heres a couple of pictures you can use for the Bengaii Cardinal. He is in my 5.5gal. I will try to get a better shot of him with my new camera that is a little more close up.

 

[kris_willard]

here you go fired off a couple more much better:

Matt,
I know you don't devote your life to this thread, but I looking for a little bit more information about gobies for nano's. Specifically a green clown goby. Any and as much info you have on them would be excellent.

TIA
