Hey all,
I posted here a few months ago considering a 40gal reef but ultimately turned that tank into a mudskipper paludarium. Playing around with brackish got me itching for a proper marine setup. I'm breaking down one of my freshwater tanks and will be replacing it with a nano reef. I specifically want the challenge of a nano as my other tanks are mostly self-sustaining --- In other words, I won't be upgrading this tank.
I'm looking for 1-2 small fish I can house in this tank long-term. I've seen people say 3-4 can work with very small species, but I'm doubtful as I've also seen claims that 10gal is too small for any fish. I've seen people say smaller gobies and blennies can work. I really love tailspots but I can't find a consistent answer regarding tank size; some say 10 is fine while others say 20-30. I wouldn't mind an ocellaris clown but same goes for conflicting information. Ultimately, my only preferences are that it's a fish and it's reef-safe. I won't be stocking for a long time yet but want to know what my options are.
Thanks!
