I don't know what animals I can keep :(

[Introvertedmaniack]

hello everyone! I'm really new to reef2reef but I'm anxious for some advice from the lovely folks here. To make a long story short, I have no idea what animal(s?) I can keep in my tank! it's a 65L tank with a heater, thermometer, sponge filter + airline going into it, and a pretty standard white led light. I have aragonite sand (I think 5 - 10kg but I can't properly remember) but no live rock or any real plants and my fishless cycling is pretty much complete. My tank is so bare-bones because I was going to make it a brine shrimp culture tank but after seeing that there really aren't many tank mates you can have with those + seeing that I can't even keep a single sea urchin (sadness), I'm really keen for anything. The food I have on hand currently is some Continuum Ocean Snow, Sera Micron fry food, and some Reef Essential Pure Phyto, so I'd love some suggestions that can maybe eat these things.

thanks to everyone who helps me out, I've been pretty bummed out about this. I'm also open to suggestions for any tank upgrades I might hypothetically really NEED to keep anything but I'm just a full-time uni student so do with that information what you will and thanks again!

Greetings. Will yours be a fish-only tank, are are you looking for fish that won't eat corals?

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

You will need to add some rock for any livestock that you have, so they have a habitat to live in.

65L is a bit small for most fish, but you could try a couple small, peaceful fish like gobies. There's also a whole bunch of cool inverts you could have in this tank.

If it's just a basic, white fish light it likely won't support coral growth, but you could upgrade the light in the future.

Good luck with your tank!

What kind of invertebrates? I'd love to know! as far as im currently aware, I could maybe have a shrimp (or two if i managed to get some SMALL specimens), probably an Anemone, or some coral, but i'd love some suggestions!

I'd like a fish/shrimp/crab only tank! I'm aiming to set up a big proper reef tank later in my life with all the proper equipment, but for now i just want some awesome critters!

I'm mostly a FOWLR guy-- at least my main tanks. "Go FOWLR, and ENJOY life!" lol!

Take a look at:
A Goby/Pistol shrimp pair < very cool to watch in a small tank
Rock Flower Anemones
Sexy shrimp
Porcelain shrimp

As well as lots of snails, hermits, true crabs, cleaner shrimps and more can go in your tank.
