My First Nano, What To Put In It?!

[lozronz]

Hi! I'v wanted to make a nano tank for a while and yesterday I got around to it, I wanted it to be fresh water but look a bit marine, only thing is I really havent thouhgt about what could go in it, any suggestions??

Would the plants survive if I went brackish and got a couple of dwarf puffers and a couple bumble bee gobies?

well dwarf puffers aren't brackish lol


there is a pin in the brackish section about plants


and I don't have any stocking suggestions, sorry

 

[lozronz]

Ah, well you live and learn!

how many gallons is it?

 

[lozronz]

small, its only 5 gallons, the puffer thing was just an idea, if its too small no problem, thats why I posted, as I say first nano.

 

[rob newland]

5g is too small for a figure 8 but you do fresh with 1 dp...

Ok 1 dwarf, would he be ok in those surroundings? the tank might look a bit sparse for a while, the lfs I have seen them at they are usually 0.5" I know they get to 3" when grown but is there anythink that could go in as well?. I take it they would devour shrimps?

Biggest dwarf puffer I've ever heard of was 2", they are normally around 1". Some eat shrimp, some don't.

the DP needs loads of stuff to explore and mess around in, if you get some more plants I reckon he'll be fine

Pair/trio of shelldwelelrs, perhaps? Bumblebee gobies? Other small gobies?

Hi, what is the flower looking ornament made of? It looks like a great way to create caves!

 

[lozronz]

I don't know, they are some kind of barnacle I would hazard a guess, they have seemed to crop up at fish stores in my area lately, you cant really see in the picture but the rocks are a metallic green so I thought the pink would complement it.

I would love to keep gobies, Are there many small fresh water gobies? I know they exist but havent seen any in the trade as yet. anyone know of a good source for them?
