nano tank

i want to do a 10 gallon nano but im wondering what fish i can put in it.

Firefish, Purple (Nemateleotris decora)
jawfish
and i would like atleast one more fish any suggestions would be great.

 

I think that would be a bit overstocked, IMHO, but if you had a powerful skimmer such as a Tunze 9002...

  Why not do one of the following:
  Jawfish Pair/Carribean corals and inverts (gorgonians, rics, sponges)
  Or single Jawfish and Gramma with Carribean Corals
  Clown Pair/Large Nem
  A few gumdrop coral crouchers (3-5) with some SPS
  A Shrimp Goby Pair and 1 small fish (ie firefish, possum wrasse) and any corals

As you can see, I like biotopes

 

The firefish should be okay. The jawfish may be a bit much, especially with he firefish. Some small blennies such as tail spots and bicolors are good. Also clown gobbies might be good to look into. It can be challenging to stock a small tank. Some possum wrasse
are okay, but can be tough to find...

its a normal sized 10 gallon tank. would just the jawfish and the firefish be ok with a few corals?

 

Hmmm...I'd do either a jawfish biotope like I mentioned above, or just other fish. In such a small area I dunno how it'll react to other fish. It may fight them. Evidentally you already have the jawfish, so I would do the jawfish and gramma biotope.

i think i will just leave the jawfish since he likes his new home so much

 

Add some Caribbean stuff like gorgonian and ricordia polyps. You could also add a Royal Gramma. I have not seen a nice Caribbean biotope in a while.

 

Jawfish, IMO, need 3-5" of sandbed, and in a ten gallon, that would be half way up the tank. lol

I like The Panfish's idea of biotopes though.
