New Nanotope: Help me stock it.

I got two shrimp, one was a cherry. It's just to start. I will probably get a couple endlers, a couple Scarlet Badis, and a couple Pygmy Cories. Cardinals are out, they get too big. They are sweet though.

well... i'd only have 1 type of fish in there. as I said before dwarf cories like to be in big groups (8+) so i'd say they're out.

Let me digress for a minute...One of my coworkers is a reefkeeping freak. He bought two of the 2.5 gallon tanks that I have, and he is setting up a 2.5 gallon reef with a 2.5 gallon sump. I will get pics from him and post them when it's done. Truly an amazing accomplishment if it works...

i still think mudskippers would be really cool

Scarlet badis are gone, how about Galaxy Rasboras?

 

[BIGgourami]

aren't there dwarf rasboras, or are those the galaxies?
it's like harlequin or hatchet rasbora or something. let me try and find a pic.

this is it harlequin rasbora (aka hatchet, apparently)
i like em and i think they stay really small.

how's about a dwarf gourami or chocolate?

Galaxy Rasboras are very small. They look like little trout.

hmmmm.... well, if they are only about an inch a piece you could get 4-5 of them. harlequins may stay small but they are quite active, so i'd put them in no less than a 10G. smae deal on the DG and CG.

Actually, the Galaies are about 1/2" each. I'll get a trio, see how they do.

i think this might have already been mentioned.
