5 Gallon tank build

[nano1714]

That's good I really like recordias, and as for my parameters?

 

[meowzer]

How long have they been 0?

 

[nano1714]

A week or so

 

[meowzer]

You can add some cuc....BUT you will not need much for a 5G LOL
what are you planning to get? maybe try 1 astrea and 2 nassarius (you have sand??)

 

[nano1714]

Yes I have sand, and that's where you guys are going to come in. I know I want an emerald crab, and a few snails. Haha what do you think?

 

[meowzer]

Start with what I mentioned above.....wait until you get a little more growth on the rocks before you add an emerald...and I would plan on one only

 

[nano1714]

Alright that sounds good to me, what about the possibility of a cleaner shrimp in the future?

 

[meowzer]

Just be careful what you add.....you do not have a lot of room to play with in a 5G when it comes to stock....
what fish do you want?

 

[nano1714]

im not to sure yet about the fish, i would really like to do a small clown but i don't believe that is possible is it? Maybe you can give me some ideas and i can do some research. Im open to anything haha

 

[meowzer]

NAH.....I would not put a clown in there.....I can make a suggestion...LOL
A pair of green banded gobies....I have 2 in my 28G cube....they are so cute They get maybe an inch

 

[nano1714]

O wow I really like the bright colors on them. do they stay at the bottom though? I would like something they maybe swims in the middle of the tank?i know in previous posts someone mentioned a possum wrasse

 

[meowzer]

I would not put a possum wrasse in a 5G........
mine are in and out of the rocks......you just never know with anything you get

 

[nano1714]

Yes thats very true, I like the firefish too.

 

[sagxman]

I like the green banded goby idea. Another suggestion is a red headed goby. I have one in my tank and really enjoy it. It's on the bottom a lot but climbs around on all the rocks.

 

[nano1714]

They look very nice too. So basically ill only be able to add some kind of goby? Which is perfect fine because like mentioned above there are many gobies that interest me

 

[meowzer]

Just read about them....there are some that can not go together.....some that do better in pairs.....etc.....

 

[nano1714]

Ill do my research!

 

[nano1714]

I will hopefully be adding my CUC later today I'll post some pics later

 

[nano1714]

So i added 2 nass snails an astrea snail and a turbo snail

 

[smallreef]

Sounds like a good start...give it a few weeks before adding anything else...maybe look into a pistol shrimp/goby pair
