Clownfish ?

I have a 6 gallon nano and i am wondering what to stock it with (fish)
and someone recommended a Clownfish or even a pair
but i thought that this was too small for even one
although i would like one i do not want to give it a poor life

just asking for more opinions

 

Personally I think 6 gallons is too small.

Liveaquaria.com offers decent generalizations on min tank size:

Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Ocellaris Clownfish

Definitely look at their Nano fish:

Nano Fish

 

You could keep like the really small baby ones without a problem. That's the only fish I've seen in my two LFS 6 gallons.

 

Here are some ideas

IMO too small for Clowns of any size.

 

6 gallon can hold a small watchman goby and pistol pair as long as that's the only fish in there. Otherwise I would stick with inverts! Like Beyonce, my sexy shrimp! ;D

 

yuppp! and NO on a clown, maybe a firefish OR a goby

 

X10 on no clown. Maybe a clown goby? Noticable resemblance and is ok according to the bible of liveaquaria. Or a few smaller gobies, some of the 1" ones. I plan on getting a few barnacle blennies and red stripe gobies for my 29g. One of those would be good for a nano. My 2 cents.

Werd.

 

Stick to small gobies and blennies (2-3 inches or smaller)
