Best Nano Reef Fish

Picking the perfect fish for a nano reef tank is always challenging. Aside from clownfish, what's your go-to nano fish (20 gallons or less)?

I'm always on the hunt for something different!!


Love my pistol/goby pair. Could watch them day.
 
i try to snag up all the trimma gobies
whenever they come around…

which hasn’t been often lately.
 
Chalk Bass. If you could get 3 of them in there it will amazing. They love the rocks but not too much like gobies do, so once they are comfortable it’s rlly nice to see them swim around openly and through the rocks, especially if you have NSA scape.

Someone recommended this guy to me locally too! They are very pretty and not as common, but common enough to find at lfs. One day I'd like to try one out!

I love diamond gobies, dottybacks, and midas blennies.:)

MEEEE TOOOO!! I've never owned a Midas Blenny though :( But I love them and their swimming pattern! I wouldn't put one in a 10 gallon though, maybe 20-30 minimum, so maybe when I upgrade I'll get one! Always wanted one!
