    sorry, that fish is just too big and active. you would be able to get away with something like a clown goby. Or something along those lines.

    No they need at least a 24" long tank add even in them they can become quite the terrors. That is a very tough size tank to put a fish in. I do not know of any that might work.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Yeap I agree with the others. Only fish I think is appropriate for a nano that size is the clown goby or the smaller gobies. With displacement you are probably looking at almost 4 gallons.
