Clowns = okay
firefish = okay
six line = will get very mean and aggressive
Wrasse when added with the clowns will be too much in that tank.
Seahorse = NIMO
yes i decided not to go with the seahorse as they are a species tank only.
Why would the wrasses be to much for the tank?
I didnt know that the six line gets aggressive.

i'd watch out for the mandarin. i have one in my 24g and about a month ago i discovered him floating being pushed around the top of the tank by the powerheads and pumps. i placed him in a cup and added some tiger pods that i got from my LFS the next morning. he made a miraculous comback but i almost lost him. i recently added a refugium to the back compartment of my nano to enable the pods to reporduce and keep him fed.
ive also read that even if you have your tank for a while and add a mandarin they can destroy the pod population very quickly.
just something to think about. but they are absolutely beautiful and i love my little guy!!!
also, before you get your tank all set up seriously consider adding a refugium in one of the back compartments. it is a great benifit to your tank and you will be very very very happy you took the time out to do it in the beginning rather than realize later that you should have.
Benefits:
-stabilized pH (hard to do in a nano)
-algae control center( better to grow algae in the back then on the LR in your DT or the glass)
-pod population can breed safely without preditors (keeps all your fish happy)
holler if you have any questions and i can help you set it up. I cant emphasize enough what a good idea this is DOOOO IITTTTTT!!!
thanks for the input I want a mandarin so bad! Its my #1 fish that I want.
I read a little about refugiums and they still confuse me a bit how to set them up(something like putting crumbles of live rock in the back, but it sounds very beneficial to add one so ill have to figure that out.
It is the one that I wanted the most but no biggie. Id rather it live and come into the tank later.
