Best Fish For Nano?

Bphilpott15 · 03/17/2016, 03:07 PM

in my 10G nano i have a black ocellaris clown pair and a yellow tail blue damsel (might remove) what other fish could i have in here that are interesting to watch and colourful?

Your already overstocked IMO. If those clownfish ever decide to pair up that yellow tail damsel will probably have to go too. If anything, you might want to look into a Blenny or perhaps a Goby. Something that stays relatively small and keeps to the bottom of the tank. GL.

i was thinking the same on the goby or blenny side which ones are best for a nano tank? the damsel will probably have to go to get rid of the aggression so id also like to replace this fish so maybe replace the damsel with some kind of intersting fish and a small goby then that will be my fish stocked. then on to corals

I think 4 fish in a 10 gallon would be too overstocked. Most people would say having the 2 clowns in a 10 is too much.

Barnacle blenny! One of my favorite nano fish

I would take out that Yellow Tail Damsel and replace it with a Blue Sapphire Damsel, a little less aggressive but still a striking Damsel...

I had a pair of clowns and a pistol goby pair. I had a hi fin and a yasha goby share a burow with a pistol.

One of the Pygmy or Possum wrasses are perfect for a 10 gal. I agree with the others you should get rid of your current fish and get something suite to a tank that size.
