Fish recommendations on a 5 gallon nano

Looking for some fish ideas in this nano. No clown fish. They are as friendly as caged pit bulls. Jk I have pitties and they’re so sweet. The tank will have some softies. Maybe some Zoa’s and a lps nothing crazy. Thanks in advance.

Trimma gobies? I understand you can get multiples of them. Eviota also. Biota has them, but the yellow trimmas are not currently in stock.

Greissenger Goby! They can live in a 2.5 gallon no problem from my own experience and are amazing! They also only eat pods so just dose a small amount nightly and you actually don't even need to feed the fish directly.

I was about to be salty about the pit comment until I saw you had pitties! Lol I love pitties so much!

Unfortunately biota doesn’t ship up here.

I am trying a greenbanded goby in my 4.8 gallon. The one I got is TINY so not sure how it will work out long term (though adult size is only 2 inches so should be OK), worth looking into!
