Uncommon nano fish

[plumbdogmillionaire]

I just ordered a Tesselated Blenny from Biota and was wondering if anyone knows of some other cool obscure/uncommon nano fish that would work in a 25 gallon reef? The only other fish on my list as a possibility is a Skilletfish.

@i cant think

The problem is availability with many of these smaller nano fish. Not trying to discourage you, but you are going to find that for most (if not all) of the year many of these nano fishes species are simply out of stock.

Personally, I think with many of these vendors the listing(s) of a particular nano species is just window dressing (fluff), to give the appearance of a wider selection.

Neon Gobies are really cool.
Gum Drop Coral Crusher.
Any of the Citron or Clown Gobies.

Yeah I’ve found a lot of it can be seasonal. I’ve been wanting a pink streaked wrasse and it looks like they’re just now starting to be available

Fang Blenny (if you can find one in stock).

Geometric hawkfish are really neat little fish that a lot of people forget about. There a bunch of tiny nano gobies that are hard to find, but they’re very cool. How small are we talking because some of these gobies get a maximum of an inch?

Just small enough to do well in 25 gallons

Not sure how uncommon, but yellow assessors. I have one and it’s awesome.

Coral Clown Gobies are cool

If you have enough pods I think a red scooter dragonet is always a showstopper. Catalina Gobies are pretty cool as well.

Biota has a couple you could choose from.

Upside down goby - I have one in my 210 gallon so I don't see it much. Joy when I find it. Lives in the various nooks and crannies but during feeding time darts out to snag food. Beautiful little fish.

Links Goby - sand sifter. Another one I have in the 210 gallon reef but usually visible as it works over the sandbed.

Blue Neon cleaner - another fun fish also in my 210 gallon reef. Everyone knows its location and gets cleaned. Looks pretty cool when it is cleaning the larger Gold Lined Rabbit (also Biota).

Plenty of others on Biota's site. Starry is on my wish list. But you mentioned uncommon - these along with the Starry are not often mentioned.

Upside down goby looks really cool. Thank you!
