Help me pick fish for my nano reef tank.

Hey everyone. I’ve had my new nano reef tank up and running for a lil while now. It’s an 8 gallon nanocube. I figure I can fit 2 fish in there comfortably. What should should I put in there? Please share your selections and also why. Thanks a bunch!

Clown gobies are a nice looking nano fish. Not very active but that's what you get in a small tank.

Neon goby, yellow clown goby, or Helfrichi firefish

If you get a Helfrichi firefish please post pics as I want one but want to know what they actually look like not the perfect lensed pics I find of the ones for sale

Agree with all mentioned above. YWG and pistol are cool. Tank full of sexy shrimp is also fun.

You could try keeping and breeding something like peppermint shrimp maybe. It sounds like a difficult but rewarding experience.

Great suggestion but pretty sure a difrent tank setup would be nessisarly for the larva to survive otherwise the filter and return pump will kill em
