What fish in a 3 gallon?

[azul1994]

I am getting a pico soon and am just wondering what you would do with the tank? What very small fish would be good?
I was looking at the yellow watchman but don't know if it gets to big?
Any opinions are apreciated. Thanks.

gobies (stick w/ the smaller ones) other than that it's all up to what you think won't get crowed in there... 3 gallons pretty small

You could do like maybe a clown goby and like a cleaner shrimp. and then corals/snails/hermits

Thanks, yeah i know its really small I was just thinking of one small fish like a goby.
Any other thoughts?

Yeh I think you should go for any of the clown gobies. Black, green or yellow would be sweet

 

[azul1994]

Thank you i think i am leaning towards the yellow clown goby, because its pretty much the same as the yellow watchman only smaller. right?

i have a 3 gallon with a green clown goby and a dwarf seahorse!! its perfect amount of livestock with the clean up crew

Thanks for the input!
Can't post pics, considering i don't have the tank yet.

3 gallons...Thats plenty of space for 6 tangs..and I am talking Sohal's
J/K I would go with the Green Clown Goby..

clown or neon goby

Ok thanks, just got the tank up and running yesterday.
If i add live sand and rock from my 35, that has been running for a year, will I have much of a cycle?

I've done that before, and it really helps, but I would still wait awhile. Wait one week, test the water, and see how it goes. Alot depends on your initial water quality, also.

 

[azul1994]

Ok thank you, I was going to wait about 2 weeks anyway. I'll keep testing my water though, just to make sure.

Wow, really? I've got a Pico with nothing in it, I may try that.

3 gallons is tiny for any fish, with rock and sand theres probably 2.5 gallons or less. im not saying no but, it probably would be happier in a bigger tank

 

[azul1994]

Ok, well if i think he doesn't look happy, or he gets to big, i could always put him in my 35.

Hey Azul, I just got a highfin shrimp goby and shrimp thats paired with it for my deco. They seem pretty tiny and the goby doesn't swim far from it's burrow so I think this will work out great. I'm picking him up as soon as my tank cycles so i will tell you how it goes.
