Fish for small tanks (15G)

[Fengxzhang]

I'm not new to the hobby, but I'm new to small tanks. I have a 90G w 30G sump SPS tank and a 28G JBJ. But I wanted an "office pet" and started my old Oceanic (15G ish) with a simple PC hood and filter at work. I have used live rocks and live sand from my established system to expedite the initial process. Now I'm ready for some fish. Beside damsels and cromies, what are some fish I can host in this little tank I have? I hoping for something with a little more color.

Since it's a single 24" PC "daylight" bulb tank, can I put some mushrooms, kenya tree and zoas in there too?

I would do a yasha goby and pistol shrimp pair.

i agree a goby and pistol shrimp pair would be great for a small tank

Flasher Wrasse, Helfrichi Firefish - Hawaii, Clown Goby - Yellow, Luzon Anthias, ORA Splendid Dottyback - Aquacultured, Purple Pseudochromis, Purpleback Pseudochromis, Multicolor Pygmy Angelfish, Solar Fairy Wrasse, Truncate Anthias. These are a few I found. Just google nano tank fish and I am sure you will more!!

I have a small Picasso Clown pair and a cryptic wrasse in a 20 Long, I love the wrasse, although it's appropriately named. I feel lucky when he makes an appearance to the front of the display. Another cool small fish is the Tanaka's pygmy Wrasse.

Can I put my Nemo pair in there? I think they are tank raised

IMO, I would not. You could put one and not much else. The smallest tank I would keep a pair of percula or ocellaris clowns in is a 20 L.

As far as coral w a pc, how many watts? Is it a single or double bulb? I'm still rocking a pc and have good results and growth/color from many different types z&ps, acans, favia, chalice, rics and a couple montis. I have a 20h frag tank w a 130w fixture. I actually can't have stuff too high up in the tank. Only 6 hr photo period w full day lights on.
