Fish for 13g nano

[DeWittTheReefer]

I started a high-end mushroom nano tank(EVO 13.5) and I'm wanting to add some fish but would love to get appropriately creative. Anyone know of any unique tinies? Hoping for something other than the common neon goby/yellow clown goby suggestions. Thanks all!

I'm not sure if this fits inside or outside of your wishes, but a consideration might be one or two yasha gobies and matching pistol shrimp. Good luck with whatever you decide!

Can look up possum wrasses or pink streaked wrasses they all stay small and are very unique and have quirky personalities.

I have a pink streak wrasse and a twin spot blenny in my Evo.

You're the second to mention that pink-streak wrasse, and I have to say Im loving it.

I dont have any fine substrate, I should have mentioned that, its all roughy nickel-sized rock for the shrooms to easily attach to. I love the idea though.

Pest control in a cute package, I have one in my big tank as well.

Id think about adding one to my 120, but my six-like is a bit of a dick.

IMO Royal Gramma needs at least a 20.

I’d go with up to 3 very small / small fish.

I agree, and Im probably going to keep it at two. At this point Im thinking a pink-streak and a white-banded possum, as they're both small and docile.

While I like my clown I currently have in my 14G, I fear it may be too small for him in the long run. Wish I would have done soemthing like these gobies. Pretty unique I think.

If you're willing to have only 1 fish in the tank, how about a small Angler? I think it'd be pretty interesting to see it sitting/walking amongst the shrooms.

Tiny damsel or a group of shrimp

Tailspot blennys are good workers with plenty of personality.

So I am fairly certain I am getting a pink streaked wrasse. Can you guys tell me why you like it. And any special care.

Four striped damsel. He’d be fine in a tank that size and mine is always swimming around the tank. Most people say they’re mean but mines a wimp.
