Chelsey's new NC 6

[Chelsey]

Well, I just got word that I have a new NC 6 coming to me this weekend :wav:

Of course I have a bazillion ideas but I cannot do them all. I think you guys should help me decide what to do. CZ involvement will give me the initiative to start my own tank thread As far as coral I'm pretty well set with zoas and star polyps and a few mushrooms + a feather duster of some sort; it's the fish/inverts that are giving me trouble. So, here are my ideas:

1. pair of neon gobies
2. pistol shrimp and goby combo
3. jawfish
4. mantis
5. a few tiny gobies of different species

Vote and help me decide

 

[sf_ramsden]

I would say either pistol shrimp and goby combo (which is what I voted for) or the different species of gobies. The shrimp/goby combo's are just sweet to watch though!

 

[ct_vol]

I voted pistol/goby combo... I have this pair in my 15g BioCube...

Pistol and goby

WHAT more fish

 

[jafoca]

don't do jawfish.... a nano is not a good home for jawfish.

They need 4"+ of sand, and if you have a DSB in a nano you are asking for problems.

I voted a few cool gobies!!!

 

[Pazazz]

I vote for a turtle tank!!!

 

[chadfarmer]

i cant find black tip shark on your list

 

[cardgenius]

A Helfrichs Firefish would be cool.

 

[JGoslee]

I voted for a mantis tank.

 

[MarvinsReef]

shrimp and goby...

 

[anomie]

a few tiny gobies...

On a side note, liveaquaria's divers den had a goby pair w/pistol shrimp.

 

[Chelsey]

Tank's got sand and live rock in it right now, working on filling it up with water as we speak

 

[Chelsey]

I still haven't really decided yet, but I'm thinking either a goby/pistol pair or a mantis (finding one is the problem). Everything, including the water, came from an established system, so I should be able to add them fairly quickly.

Here ya go:

 

[ecotoxlady]

Am I missing something here? Where's the fish?

 

[Chelsey]

The goby pistol pair are not yet in my tank. I've got to go to my LFS and buy a pair if they've got them in.

 

[Chelsey]

Ok, so now that I've decided to get a goby pistol pair, what kind of goby should I get?

You could do (my first choices):

Yellow Watchman
Pink Bar
Hi fin red banded
or a Randall's

I have a Yellow Watchman in my 33g with a pistol and they are great! I love all the four that i listed.
