Fish Fanatic
I found a great deal on a 6 gal jbj nano cube this weekend and am decided what to do with it.
So for mods, I have just replaced the stock pump with a maxijet 600 that I had sitting around in my closet.
I also cut out a small hole in the plastic grate that works as an overflow in the top left corner, and put a small piece of vinyl tubing connected to the stock pump, which I placed at the bottom of the left chamber.
I did this to add more flow to the tank without having to put a powerhead directly into the tank, which would have taken up way to much space.
I plan on eventually getting some Loc-line pieces to make it look nicer.
I am wondering whether making the left and center chambers into one big chamber will save me any troubles?
Does anyone else have any other modifications that they recommend to make life any easier for me?
My main question is, what species of fish I could happily fit into this small tank?
I really don't want to start any arguments, as I know a lot of people have different opinions on the matter.
But don't worry, you won't be seeing any clownfish in this small of a tank. I think we can all agree thats not a good idea.
Right now, the only fish I am looking at are:
- Clown Goby (1.5" max)
- Citrinis Goby (2" max)
- Neon Goby (2" max)
- Hi Fin Banded Goby (2" max)
- Green Banded Goby (2" max)
- Court Jester Goby (2" max)
What do you guys think about these fish?
I think the jester goby might be an iffy choice since they are a more free swimming species, but if I like that they are free swimming.
Let me know what you guys think. I am thinking about adding one of these fish, a shrimp, and a CUC.
Thanks,
Nick
