Hi all,
Almost a year on from when I planned to do so I finally got my macro algae tank going. It is a 65g display that I plan to do only nano fish in. Say max of about 3”.
What are your favourite nano fish? The most outgoing? Favourite gobies? Any that you really didn’t enjoy keeping?
I have a Pink Streak Wrasse and a Yellow Assessor in the tank so far. CUC is two red dot cleaner shrimp, fighter conches, various snails, and dwarf (currently about the size of a grain of rice) blue leg hermits. Trying to keep everything both tiny fish and algae friendly. I’ll be adding other a variety of shrimp and such so I’m looking for invert friendly. The Assessor disappeared for an entire week when I got him, so definitely doesn’t go in the outgoing category so far lol! The wrasse is more curious. I want the tank to have cool little surprises when you get up close to it but would also like something to add a little bit of activity to the open water. I’m thinking Yellow Striped Cardinals? I was/am very interested in Blue Stripe Pipefish but it’s highly unlikely I’d be able to get them sexed so would probably have to do a single one. Might add a second Assessor if it’s not too late.
Any ideas appreciated! My LFS doesn’t love stocking nano fish so I’ll likely be getting most special ordered and I’m not sure if I’m missing any fun ones to ask for.
