5.5 gallon animals?

[ram man]

What would be a good fish or invert for a 5.5 gallon tank? Would a pistol shrimp and goby combo work ok in a tank like this?

 

[aresgod]

yes it would

 

[ram man]

quick question, if i were to have a clown fish in the tank would i also be able to have sexy shrimp?

 

[CAPSLOCK]

Clownfish get to at least 3", right? I think they're too big for a 5g.

even percula clownfish are probably a bit big for a 5.5...you would be better sticking with the goby; but, yes, you could keep a sexy shrimp with a clownfish

 

[ram man]

ok, im still gonna wait a long time bfore putting anything in the tank, ive seenfalse perces in 6 gallon nano cube that are just as big if not small. im just gonna add corals once the tank is ready then see what what fish there are.

hey did you get rid of your mantis or got another 5.5g?
btw i've seen nemos in a 5g... for 1+ years

 

[ram man]

I got a 5.5, never got rid of the mantis, and never will.

 

[saltwater4life]

ok good because i like that little guy
i'm still thinking of getting one

 

[YahooFishKeeper]

nemos? haha... wow... nemos.

i think it would be cool if ou did an invert tank only ram.

 

[ram man]

just had a cool idea, how many sexy shrimp maximum could i fit in a 5 gallon?

 

[Igor The Cat]

id say 3 or 4

cheers

[saltwater4life]

lol 3 or 4 they'd be everywhere but yea inverts only are cool

most shrimp, like the red banded shrimp do best with one. they will kill each other off. and a clown should be fine in a 5.5g. i know people who keep even an ananome, but yes i know that pushes it.

 

[TRe]

anenome in a 5 gallon wow thats scary ... just because youv seen people put certain things in such a small tank doesnt mean its a good idea

 

[Fuzz16]

not saying it was reccomendable, just saying ive seen it.
