    All nanos have really smal swim areas for fish. You have to be really disciplined and get only two or three really small fish, adult size.

    Smaller Flasher and Fairy Wrasses, Neon Gobies, and small Damsels are good candidates. Get a book or check out the adult size before getting a fish. The maximum size is three to four inches. A

    Anything larger than that is like having you take a bath in the sink, yikes eh?

    None of the other fish will survive the damsels hurrassment. Damsels are the meanest fish.

    I agree. The Royal Gramma and two Neon Gobies would be perfect. No more than three fish total IMO&E.

    Neons are one of the coolest fish. Check out the ones with the gold stripe.

    Yes, but a pair of Neon Gobies would be the bomb over mixed gobies.
