Got a bigger tank and feeling saucy?? Watch this! ruclips.net/video/u7veCOVXI-o/видео.html
Flaming prawn goby has a special place in my heart
Clown goby is a nice little addition
Great little fish 👍
getting a yellow clown goby tomorrow! Cant wait!
My tailspot blenny is my favorite fish. Hes such a character.
Your videos are great. Very informative and enjoyable. I’ve got a cool 20 gal cube that’s been up and running a few weeks...first salt water tank I’ve done and all is well so far! Thanks for taking the time to post everything and great job making things so succinct yet engaging!
Ps - I’ll proably need to upgrade to a 50 gal within a year or two...my diamond goby is gonna need it. And I absolutely must have a Midas blenny sooner than later. 😀
Right...Peaceful. That is definitely how I describe my Female Midnight Clown. She definitely never bully's the male or bites me.
Yes, clownfish is an absolutely retarded choice for a nano tank. Demoiselle are extremely territorial and clownfish even have the teeth to do damage with their aggression. Their anemone takes up a lot of space. But this is a bad recommendation list overall.
Mollys for example are a much better choice.
😂😂😂
Great selection but no wrasse... I'd go with the pink streaked wrasse - small, peaceful and eats those nasty pests - I think that would be the other perfect nano tank fish
Wish this fish would be more popular amongst reefers. They are cute, playful , peaceful, stay small(2 inches max) and is a great pest control fish! Beats six line wrasse in every area!
other than looks...
@@blunderbuss1395 true...
They don’t look nice in a tank, I’ve had experience and it drew away of the reef and made it feel more of a deep ocean tank because it felt as if it was a red snapper because of the body shape and color (not size though). It’s not very budget friendly and most people that are starting nano tanks are starting their first tanks, and a fish over the price of 100 dollars isn’t too budget friendly…
@@finnmurphy8359 +$100 - ok yeah that's not cool for that fish.. I still think there needs to be a pest eating wrasse though or something to do that job... yellow coris wrasse (not a coris) or a possum wrasse. I'm a fan of pipefish too (debatable that they eat pests)
I'm the sort of person who wouldn't go budget with a nano though. I'd have to have a basslet type, a yasha + pistol, a wrasse and something that swims above the rockwork (some goby I guess). I would see a nano as a way to highlight a few very nice animals.
I absolutely love my ocellaris. Hoping to add a blenny soon
I’m getting me a clown fish!
Nano?! Looks like great choices period! But then I do really like gobies and the like! 😂
I am getting a 5 gallon reef tank (I am 10 years old) and I say fire fish are good mini fish
We need the news back on youtube please 😊 good vid
🙂 It's a possibility - I'm working on it...
It looks like most of these require a decent sand bed. I have a 37 gallon bare bottom tank that is quite deep, about 36” deep by 22” x 22” and I’m keeping some sps in there. What would you recommend for bare bottom tanks?
Thanks 😊 🐠
I also have 33 gallons of water in a sump with refugium too to it contains 70 gallons of water in total.
I thought u said sans bed lol
Just started my salttwater aquarium. Live rock and put our first fish in a couple of days ago. A pair of clowns. Leaving it six weeks then, thinking of adding a Blenny or shrimp.
How long do blennies generally live for? Have you noticed a difference in lifespans between different species and genuses?
Hi everyone who is reading this. I'm a beginner reefer and have 1 question.
When ever people say min size of 30 gallons, 20 gallons etc... Does it refer to swimming volume or total volume? For eg I have a Red sea reefer nano, 21Gal display 7 Gal Sump. So am I limited only to a 21 Gal fish or I can stretch to 28 Gal?
Good question. Swimming volume so exclude the sump.
Could you maybe do “best tankmates for seahorses” next please? It would really help me out :)
Question my tank is almost cycled.... ammonia is 0 but nitrite is still purple and little high .....but if I dose ammonia it is gone in 24 hours so is it cycled???? Can I get fish
Not cycled yet - gotta wait for the nitrite to read 0. No need to add any more ammonia though
In german literature clown fish are not recommended below 200 liters. Sometimes even 250 liters. Wondering what you think about that and why you think clowns are fine in smaller tanks. Thanks :)
I suspect they'll live longer in a larger tank as it's more likely to have better quality water. But my clowns don't stray more than 6 inches away from the coral they call home, which is why most places online suggest smaller tanks. I personally wouldn't have a pair in less than 100L but plenty of others would.
@@ReefDork I read it's because anemone need quite a bit of space and as such clownfish shouldn't be kept in anything below 200l (at least that's how German websites explain it)
What were those soft pink fish?
What type of clown fish do you have in the tank behind you in the video? I am looking at getting another Mochavinci (one died), or another designer clown fish. My LFS has them on sale for 20% off.
Very similar to that - mine are Da Vinci clowns.
I sure wish I could find a tailspot blenny! I have like 4 stores on the lookout for me and have been to many more. Cant even find online. Is it a seasonal fish or something? I love the hawkfish as well, going to be getting one when I get a bigger tank. have yours gotten along with the blenny?
I think they're from Aus but I see them all the time in shops so I don't think they're especially seasonal. My Tailspot died after a momth sadly. My hawks get on fine with my small fish though, including a Randall's goby
From what I’ve heard is neon and clown gobies can live in 5 gallons
Double that would be the minimum for me personally
In my 32 gallon I have a watchman goby/pistol shrimp, tailspot blenny, blood shrimp, 1 mochavinci clownfish. 3 blue streak cardinals, i blue legged hermit crab, and some Trochus and Super Togan nassarius snals. My hermit crab killed one of my trochus snails and one of my nassarius snails
I love hermits but I don't have any in my current tank for that reason - I prefer snails 🙂
@@ReefDork I am thinking of trading mine in for more snails.
What is a nano fish with lots of personailty, or unique swimming style? I dont see anything intersting about the cardinal on the list, dosnt even swim much. I want a small fish thats fun to watch. I was thinking yellow clown goby or watchman goby or a blenny. Does it get anymore interesting than that? My lfs mostly just have damsels and of course clown and i think they are called fire goby. They ahve the long thing on top of head.
Clownfish will surprise you i started a tabk and got one recently and glad i did, theyre such wacky and wierdo fish. They are pretty feisty little things too lol.
Would I be able to keep a clownfish in a 13 gallon tank?
Awesome vid btw
Yes, a pair of percula or occelaris would be fine
@@ReefDork Wow you replied super fast, thank you so much! Subbed!
Is it possible to fit 2 clown fish and one blenny in one 10 gallon tank?
Small clowns and maybe a small blenny like a Tailspot might be OK. But I'd try to find someone who's had a 10g long term to ask.
A bit late but, I've had a pair of clowns and a tail-spot blenny in a 10 gallon for about six months now and, they're getting along fine.
how big is your tank behind you in the intro? so beautiful too!
It's a Red Sea Reefer Peninsula 500 so about 4x2x2
@@ReefDork thanks!
What is the thing in the rocks at 3:23
Skunk cleaner shrimp
My clowns are really vicious
Some can be right blighters! Older or clarkii/tomato types are the worst 😡
Reef Dork I’ve got two maroons It’s a guaranteed bite every time hand goes in tank 😂 would never get rid of them tho I’ve just got used to it
Can someone tell me please what's the lobster at minute 1:39 ?
It's a pistol shrimp, probably a tiger pistol shrimp. They're awesome!
@@ReefDork Thanks! :)
Great list, hard to understand some key points through the awesome Aussie accent though
Strewth!
Pistol shrimp are peaceful?? Not mine 😂, he spends all day and all night pulling any unsecured coral frag, shell, equipment, and even slower snails or crabs into his den! and once they go they don’t come back 😬
No royal gramma, shame
