jason7504 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 whats the weirdest, unusual and cool fish that would be ok in a 15g nano? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 candy basslet has got to be the coolest, without a doubt, but its pricy another nice one is a yellow assessor basslet, gorgeous fish, active, stays small, perfect for a 15g nano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylaster Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 helfrinchs firefish would be my choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaticEngineer Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 They had a nice looking little goby down at World of Wet Pets for like 12 bucks. Almost got him but he was a little small and I worried my Yasha would thrash him. Looked like a Trimma, similar to this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 i forgot all about a yashia, a yashia with a pistol shrimp would be perfect that pair and a yellow assessor and your set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AquaticEngineer Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 flaming prawn goby huh? yeah those are nice but so small lol can you even see it in the tank? lol My Tank is 15 gallon display with a Yashia goby, Geometric Pygmy Hawk, and a sixline wrasse, and I still wish I had gotten smaller fish (laugh) I have about 30 gallons of sump on the system so I may get more fish still, but I think I'd go smaller like a group of small gobies like the trimmas or something.

jason7504 Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 im thinking of either a smaller seahorse pair and maybe a small goby, a dwarf angler or scorpianfish, or something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledosophy Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 The smallest seahorse available that does not require daily hatching of live food would be a fuscus. You might be able to do a pair in a 15g, but it would limit your other stocking choices. For a tank of that size it would really have to lean towards a planted tank, or have a super sump with filtration as a pair of fuscus need about two cubes of mysis a day, which is heavy on the biolaod side. The best place to purchase these would be from Seahorsesource.com so you know what you are getting. I have never seen this species carried at an LFS in Oregon in my recolection, although Joel did try to order some for me once from ORA before seahorse source started there program. If you need any help with seahorses, I'm always up for it. You can PM me here or email me at Kevin@seahorse.org. For some further reading about seahorse tank inhabitants here is something a friend and I put together http://www.seahorse.org/library/articles/tankmates/tankmates.shtml HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna get them from seahorse source too if i got them but there not currently in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
