2.no 3 gal, isnt good, the bigger the tak you can afford or have room for the better, they are more stable

4. clown gobies, most other gobies, small clowns, dottybacks

a regular filter yes, or u can make a sump out of a plastic beta holder and a 3 gallon to go along with your nano.. LOL! and use a powerhead for the return pump.. my friend has one and its cool to see.. he even made a 5 gallon tank stand out of oak and hides the sump underneath.. looks just like a real set-up but miniaturized!
