I'm Back!

[hotimportknight]

After a long break I'm finally back. I need some ideas about what to do with my saltwater hobby. I'm off to college, moved in today. Back home until Sunday, but the landlord will not allow me to have a fish tank over 50 gallons, which I currently have. I honestly don't think its worth all the trouble of dismantling my beautifully established tank and re set it up again 100 miles away only to move home and have to redo it all again in 9 months... So I have 2 friends lined up to come baby sit my tank. I've decided I can't live without any saltwater at all in my house, so I'm taking my 12g nano cube. I need some cool ideas for a fish or 2 for it, what would you guys think would be a cool fun idea to play with a 12 gallon? What are some really cool and fairly affordable small fish that would be happy in a nano? Liveaquaria has a nano section, but nothing really grabs my eye...

Hey import, welcome back.

Thanks, I missed talking on here. Had a tough summer, ended a 3 year relationship, went through some depression issues, tank suffered a bit, my sea horse died in the established 12g due to it never eating, but the tank is empty now and the live sand and rock is stored in salt water, well the rock is in my sump of my main tank, so it should be good to go, I'm sure not ready for an anemone right away, but the tank only has limited lighting... unless anyone knows how to do a mod on a regular canopy JBL lighted 24 watt Nano cube. I guess I could always pop the top off and hang a pendant or something... What kind of clowns are cool and likely to host in a nem? My false percs never looked at my anemones in my main tank.

So after scoping out live aquaria I remembered I really like the black perc clowns... My friends black clowns host his frogspawn, does that mean that they are likely to host an anemone in my tank? or does it vary greatly from fish to fish?

I've always loved lionfish too, think I could pull off a small fuzzy dwarf if I happened to drop some financial aid money on a 24g cube? liveaquaria says min 30g. Also with a fuzzy dwarf can you maintain a cleaner crew with out them getting devoured?

the pink and orange striped clowns are really cool and so are the golden stripped maroons

If you want cool, here it is! IMHO

I would suggest doing something out of the mainstream normal dime a dozen nano tanks and not put clowns in there. Just seems to be way too many of them out there. The lion idea sounds fun. Didn't you really like your sixline wrasse? You could get a small sixline. Clown gobies freakin rock! I would def get one of those no matter what.

Btw. Glad that your back. Sorry to hear about all your bad events that happened over the summer. Hope things are better.
