5 gallon reef

[fish are good]

well i have a 125 and am hoping to put some frags in the five gallon from there but also my brother is in the post about the invert only tank so i was wondering is with the inverts and corals i could put a pair of clown gobysi really think that would look cool

in a 5g tank? that might be too small for a pair of em dont ya think? i mean, im just asking, not telling lol but still

I don't think any fish can be done in a 5 gallon tank...maybe inverts such as a pistol shrimp? I could be wrong though...lol

small gobies can be kept. aka clown gobies

I know im new here but everything I have read on the forums always says something about 1 inch of fish per gallon? Is that the general rule?

 

[catfishcity]

yea that rule is generally for freshwater fish

 

[fish are good]

so could it work for two if i did once a weeek water changes or sholuld i just go with ong and also is there any type of rule simliar to the fresh water rule ?just wondering

i would just go with one clown goby and a pair of sexy shrimp!!!!

 

[fish are good]

will he make friends with the shrimp because it says that they like to be in pairs or small groups but i will prob. go with 1 thanks Jake

 

[patrick8929]

i dont think he will make friends with them but in that small of a tank one will be just fine!

id go with 3 sexy shrimp. From what I've read they prefer odd numbers, however i currently have 2 (waiting on 1 more) and they do fine together. I really would try and stick with one fish though even with normal water changes it could be pushing it
