cool im thinking about turning a empty 10 gallon tank into a nano with a clown and nem maybe or a snow eal woud work right

[miztahphong]

i think that the black and white percula, percula clownfish, and the skunk clownfish will make a great combo! they are all amazing although i only have 2 percula clowns, a blue velvet damsel, 4 striped damsel, and a nother type damsel in my 6 gallon with 2 inch sand bad about 7 lbs of live rock a coral banded shrimp and a snail. a little overstocked? maybe but its awesome to watch! :eek2:

What size nano are we talking about? IMO, Mandarin Dragonets should not be kept in anything smaller then a fully established 40+ gallon aquarium with an added refugium. I just don't think a refugium will keep up with a 10 gallon aquarium.

neon gobies are verygood as long as you have a fish that is larger than them, because they like to clean other fish. they can be easily feed brine shrimp and other meaty foods too. :roll:

I dont think a snow flake would do good in a 10 clownman. Maybe for a few week but they grow kind of fast. mine has tripled its size in only 6 months

I agree with Rock Anenome on the Mandarin Goby. In order to have a good population of Pods and keep a good supply of them you really need at least a 40 gallon tank. Most will slowly starve without a fairly large mature tank to keep them supplied with enough food. Some can be spot feed but this is usually the exception not the rule. They do look way cool though! JMHO....
