I think your tank can comfortably fit 4 peaceful fish. If you do a google search on "nano fish" you'll get a lot of suggestions, but typical suggestions include almost any goby and there are dozens of types of gobies to choose from. A few types of blenny would work, something like a tail spot blenny. Cardinal fishes will work. A few types of basslets like royal gramma or yellow assesor or blue cap. I would not recommend damels or dottybacks for this small of a tank. It also depends what fish is avaialable near you, some fish are seasonal. IMO it takes a combination of window shopping and research and luck.

What I would do if it were mine is get a pair of clownfish, which have really good personalities, get a blue neon goby (I have not had one yet but I am getting one soon, I think it would go good with the clowns), and then maybe either a Midas blenny or tailspot. (The Midas might be a bit too big for your tank size, but depending on how much rockwork you put in there, it could be fine)

Pink streak wrasse:cool cryptic wrasse with a cool personality and pest control

Springeri damsel: peaceful, pest control aces!

Rainford goby: small, colorful sand shifter that may enjoy your tank more as the sand bed matures.

Clown or tailspor goby: because gobys rock!

I do agree that a springeri is a good nano fish, but I had one that was a complete menace. Almost killed another one, but my hand a good amount, but then it did die of an intestinal blockage, but my other one that is still alive has been really good so I would say it is a good fish but there are some. I guess the same could be applied to clownfish

And people!

Yeah it's always a crap shoot. About all we can do is minimize the chances in the beginning, as much as we can. I haven't had a bad experience yet, thank goodness, and that pop of blue is gorgeous in the tank!

In a tank this size I'd be really tempted to get one of the possum wrasses (Wetmorella spp.).

 

[EricR]

Tailspot blenny would be my first choice.
After that, pick peaceful fish for nano based on your preference (as already suggested).
I like Pajama Cardinal for peaceful, always out and about, but many find them boring.

P.S. I'm partial to having a small barnacle cluster for the blenny but that's personal preference

 

[PR_nano]

All good suggestions.

In a Nuvo 20 I did
Pink Steak wrasse
Wetmorella wrasse - I didn’t had long term success (3-5 months).
Yellow watchman goby
Firefish

In a Nuvo 25
Lubbock wrasse
Firefish
Canary blenny - MP10 death
Springeri damsel

I have a 31 gal tank and have a clown, two Bangai cardinals and a Rainford’s goby. The cardinals are actually pretty active. Everybody gets along.

Get a captive bred goby so it will take pellets. Mine will eat pellets and is a fat little thing.

I’d also add some pithos crabs. Outstanding algae eaters and lots of personality. They never bother the snails or fish. Model citizens.
