settingup FOWLR or FO tank

camal shrimp can be aggressive to other shrimp

 

Clown gobies will kill and eat each other, so you'll only want one.

 

Yes I was trying to say the snake in the picture was very cool.

And plus one on the camel shrimp they are mean so you would only want one.

if you want for than one shrimp i would get 3 peppermint shrimp

 

well here the most common shrimps available are camel and skunk. but im tryin for peppermints as i wana breed them. what about antheia fishes? can they be kept in my tank? i like their colours. never kept them before. are they hardy like damsels?

 

They are beautiful fish but they get too large and are far to active for a nano tank.

hmm. what about the wavemaker? should the flow be like 50 time the water volume like the reef tank? planning to buy a 4000-5000 lph WM.

 

anyone?

 

I was just trying to picture a wave maker on a nano tank. I think that is overkill. We are still talking about a fish only tank right, with a couple inverts. I don't think you need a ton of flow in there. Just enough to move the water for O2 exchange. Maybe five times the tank volume an hour. One nice powerhead should be all you really need. Hydor has a nice little nano powerhead that does 450 gallons per hour. That would be all I would put in a fish only nano.
Hope that helps.

ok. here im geting only these chineese brands(sobo and boyu). i was intrested in buyin mp10 or tunze nano stream but they arent available here. i told my friend but he is coming in jan, dont wana wait for so long. would just power heads do the job?
