Suggestions on a 4 gal

[sinaloa213]

i'm going to be getting a tru vu 4 gallon nano cube on wednesday
any suggestions on what i should go with
i was thinking mantis?
any suggestions would be great
i haven't decided what i'm going to do

 

[joebob7]

i personally think mantis shrimps are the ugliest creatures in the world of saltwater aquariums
i would go with a clown or royal gramma
how much was the cube? does it have filtration and lights?

 

[sinaloa213]

yeah the filtration is built in the back
no light came with it
i was thinking a bunch of zoas and a "

[hr]
" clown and a watchman goby

 

[joebob7]

[hr]
clown? whats that
i like the watchmans
i dont think that you should put more than one fish in that tank unless its a clown goby or something really small
i would get some corals if the lighting can handle them

 

[sinaloa213]

or i could the the clown by its self
heres the pic of the clown

 

[joebob7]

wow ive never seen those before

 

[sinaloa213]

yeah im thinking that by itself
since my family think a four gallon with a mantis is a wast of a tank

 

[quaos]

What species of clown? Nevermind doesn't really matter. A 4 Gallon is too small for a clown. Go with a clown goby, a greenbanded goby, neon goby, or barnacle blenny.

 

[sinaloa213]

yeah i was thinking about that
clowns do get kinda big
i might just do corals and a clown goby

 

[joebob7]

ooooh or a panda goby
they only get to like 1/2 an inch long

 

[the j.o.p.]

i setting up a 3gal. now. mainly for frags of coral. i'm thinking of getting the panda. 4 gal. isn't enough for a mantis. most need 15 to 20 gal.

 

[sinaloa213]

yeah maybe thats what im going to do
a panda goby and just some corals
whats the filtration going to be on yours
do you have any pics?

 

[joebob7]

that sounds like cool tank but a lot of maintenance

 

[rbrockm1]

clown or a really small goby. Firefish, high fin red banded goby. those are colorful and only need a 10 gallon tank. its better to get these guys instead getting a tang or angel like other people

 

[the j.o.p.]

i just set it up. no camera. but it just has a HOB nano filter so far. i have to top it off a lot!!

 

[sinaloa213]

is it worth getting an ato for it????
