Nano tanks are much like their larger counterparts, with two big differences being stocking and stability. Depending on the size of the nano, I wouldn't expect to add more than a few select fish. Monitoring stability is important with every tank, but things may start going south more quickly if your parameters get off. But Nanos are awesome; I've owned two.

I have a 20g nano. I started with a Yellow Watchman Goby and a Firefish. Then, after a few months, I added a pair of designer Pecula Clownfish. I wanted to try to minimize the possibility of aggression with the clowns, so I let the two gobies adjust to the tank before adding the clowns. No problems so far! I won't add anything else until I upgrade.

For coral, toadstools, mushrooms, and zoas. In my experience, all have been hardy.
