Caught the nano fever!

[wrassecal]

I started a 2.5 gal nano for at work. I used all stuff out of my 135 gallon. I've got 13 watts pc on it and a little filter that I added carbon to. Any advice would be appreciated. The inhabitants are a tank raised perc, blue leg crab, astrea snail, nassarius snail and a little scarlet cleaner. One orange fourescing mushroom, 2 blue mushrooms, 2 button polyps and one green furry mushroom, anthelia. I added live sand from the refugium for some pods and bristle worms. I think the perc is going to be too much so I'm going to probably just put a little clown goby in there.

Nice looking - I think you are correct about your Clown assessment ... 2.5 gallons is tiny ... plus with rock and everything you run out of space pretty quickly!

I would ditch the fish and wouldn't even try to add another. My 2.5 is a very stable tank but I never feed anything in it and therefore my levels stay nice and stable. Its just too little water to be feeding a fish in.

If you want a fish, I'd do a neon goby....

I thought about a neon goby. No one thinks a yellow clown gobywould be OK?

I think a clown goby might work.
I'm thinking of going that route on my 10.

yes - but - they are not hte best eaters (in terms of getting all the food in one swipe) so you will need to get the excess food out right after feeding .... mine darts around and spreads the food out - thankfully my clown cleans up after him....

what kind of filter do you have on your tank? Just curious, thinking that a nano with just shrooms and zoos might be a fun investment.
