What fish for a nano?

[grubsnaek]

i am running a 20Long frag tank slash nano. currently i have two small black and white clowns. tho, not all black. the faces and side fins are yellow. the rest of them are jet black and bright white. i know this is a small tank. and in near future i will be adding a ETSS reef devil skimmer(rated 180g) along with upgrading my 10g sump to a 15g sump. but im wondering what other small colorful fish i can add. i was looking at a pajama cardinal, or a purple pseudochromis, or a purple firefish goby, or a yellow watchman goby....not sure! i would like to add some color moving around in the tank. i was also thinking of adding either cleaner shrimp or a blood red fire shrimp...any help would be great. thanx in advance...

If I was in your position I would go for some type of fairy wrasse. If you are just thinking about fish on your list though, I'd take the purple firefish.
But that's my opinion. FWIW

or a sixline wrasse

 

[nissan577]

you can get a sixline wrasse but do you have a lid?
the purple firefish is good as well.

 

[nano-newb1983]

i dont have a lid carlos, and i got a sixline

candy basslet

doesnt have to be from my list. just something that will stand out and look good in the nano. ive got colorful corals in there. and eventually after a couple months of the skimmer skimming. i want to add a rose bubble for the clowns. they dont like the camera yet. so hard to get a pic. but again, im looking for something active with color that is compatible with my system....

 

[catfishcity]

i would do a sixline wrass or a firefish

More like $800... Swiss Guard basslets are $90, but they aren't nearly as nice.

blue spotted jawfish are really bright and pretty.

i google candy basslet and a site i found were selling them for 89.99......after reading you post of 800 bucks. i did the same search and the same site. and the price was 89.99. and they had one for sale...

 

[demartini]

was that aquacon? if so then they for sure don't have real candy basslets, they are trying to sell swissguard basslets as candy basslets... that place is terrible. Real candy basslets are at least $800. Live Aquaria had one for $700 a couple weeks ago and some guy on nano-reef.com bought it.
