00W's AIO Smorgasbord

[Calmwaters]

I would look at the 'nano' (a fairly new term for a lot of very small gobies from several genera) gobies. They are fairly active gobies but stay very small and are generally none aggressive. Biota is captive breeding five or six different species now. I'd check their site and see if you like any of them. I agree with @tbrown on his recommendations. I would also go with dwarf ceriths and maybe add dwarf trochus (although most of mine were not particularly long-lived). A clown goby can work but they can irritate some corals and sometimes snack on SPS. You basically want very small active fish or relatively small 'perchers' in that small a tank,

--edit-- I just caught up I think @tbrown hit a grand slam with his recommendations. Only thing I'd change is I prefer the Black Ray Goby to the Yasha, and it's generally less expensive and stays smaller, but stay with the Randalli's Pistol Shrimp, by far the best of the best in pistol shrimp.

Thank you! I do have a yellow clown goby in my 125 that has never bothered any of my corals and prefers to perch on the glass. I looked at biota and they do have a few kinds of the nano gobies that I'm looking at right now some are very pretty like the upside-down goby.

The nano ones would be a good choice Amanda.

I'm trying to find more info on the Upside Down Goby but not having much luck other than what's on the Biota page.

Yeah I've noticed either some new fish or new names of fish lately.
Kinda weird I think
Don't know much about little fish Amanda but I'd say Tim gave you a good handle on it.
I'd say anything super tiny that doesn't need a ton of activity.
Like I said, what I know of little fish could fit in a thimble.
A small one....

That's what I'm looking at they are adorable but that is the only info I have found so far.

Sorry I thought what you posted was the same that I read on the biota page but it actually has a lot more info thank you my friend.

Don't worry lol, I asked you so I could look elsewhere ;)

 

[Calmwaters]

And is biota a good place to buy from? I'm thinking yes but have never ordered from them.

Of course, who am into trust? I keep a pair of Clownfish in my sump...

But, they also have a larger water volume flowing through there as well

If you can find a Stomatella or 2, those are cool.

I love stomatellas, I bought 5 for my 40g temp tank about two months back and now have a bunch of babies I can sometimes see when they are out munching. They are GREAT algae, diatom, cyano, dino eaters! Mine love the dinos...well, when I had dinos

They definitely are, and you are supporting aquaculture, which is something we need more of!

I just got home, the royal pencil still hasn't appeared. Any thoughts?
