Hi
I have an 18g tank. Probably with LR and LS theres about 12g of water volume.

I have a nano skimmer only for filtration and chemipure elite.

I have these 4 fish:
firefish
ocelleris clown
tailspot blenny
6line wrasse

I wanted to add a royal gramma to get some color.

What do you guys think? Wondering how many fish in your nanos do you have.

thanks

I would recommend getting rid of the sixline. that tank is too small for him and he will likely become a terror. The other 3 would be fine together in there but thats prob maxed out

I agree about the 6line. It needs more space to swim despite it's smaller size

tank looks nice, itll look even nicer when the corals grow in. i wouldnt add anymore fish, i have a 20g with 2 clowns and a bicolor blenny and i most likely will not be adding anything. maybe a small ranford goby.

Your tank looks good. Getting rid of the 6line is just right, it calls for 50+ gallons. Get a yellow clown goby or neon goby. My neon literally rides on my magnet cleaner when I'm cleaning and goes on my arm when it's in the tank.

Wow you guys really feel that way about 6lines. And btw, he seems okay now, so do you feel in time he will get agressive?
