I under stand that they are very hard to keep but they ARE GREAT looking!

um...why is this in the soft coral section????

I think the OP is looking for a fish that will be okay in his softie tank. :)

that is correct, thanks.

ah, gotcha, my bad ;) I read everything EXCEPT for the words "softy tank" lol. Anywho, i'd stay away from the manderin in a 6...that'd be more work than the fish itself is worth...you'd be buying so much food...just to be feeding a 15 dollar fish lol. I mean i know you cant put a value on a fish that you love and whatnot...but you get my point.

I'd say go w/like a firefish, or maybe like a yellow watchman gobie w/a randalli pistol shrimp. I had that pair in my nano and it was awesome. Or many of the other watchman type gobies would work too...like the yasha haze or something.

Randals goby and symbiotic pistol shrimp...awesome!

I was thinking about a gobie. What other gobies will stay small enough to stay in my nano tank...oh... whats a yasha haze?

its a type of goby...hang on i'll get some links...

here's the yasha...personally i dont think they need a whole 30g...if they're anything like the yellow watchman, they rarely swim around the tank. My yellow watchman, even though he was in a 29g tank, stayed w/in like 10 inches of his little hole. So i put him in a 3g and same thing...he was fine w/that and his little shrimp buddy.

There's a bunch of the shrimp gobies so i'll stop there haha

hey thanx! I like the idea that he can have a buddy. I wonder if they really need to be feed twice a day?

which one? the yasha?? I didnt even notice that....I believe it though. A lot of really small fish have high metabolisms or something like that, so they're like a bird...goes right in and right out lol. So they need to be fed a couple times a day (or better yet a few really really really small meals a day) otherwise they'll be "runnin on empty" too long, so to speak lol. At least thats the way i took it when i read some article on smaller fish a long time ago

yellow headed jaw fish would be good stay away from the manderin with out you are really experienced

what about a blenny?

A Tail Spot Blenny would be a wonderful fish for a nano tank, they are the smallest of the Blenny's and are cute as heck with great personality.

How about a damsell? They are pretty hardy.
A Javanese Damsel is very interesting.

GL

i'll check those possiblities. Thanx

hi fin banded goby would be perfect! here is mine.

That's a very nice fish pic. Do they do anything for the tank? Besides look cool! Janitorial?

I kinda want to get something that has some other purpose (like cleaning or eating pests) and look cool. Still stongly considering a shrimp gobie. I know they dont clean, but they are still cool.

Tail Spot Blenny's (or just about any Blenny for that matter, some more then others) will munch on algae.

I herd that blennies got to big and feed on pods
