Going to add Fish #2 To the nano

[Nano]

BELOW IS WHAT I WROTE BEFORE WHEN I WAS USING TEST STRIPS INSTEAD OF LIQUID TESTS WHICH I AM NOW USING

__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _____________________________________________
I will be adding my second fish to my tank tomorrow (FINALLY!!!) I'm still not 100% sure I'm thinking either a dottyback or a firefish goby, but who knows! maybe I'll see something else I like. I'm prepared to spend $35 on a fish (oops honey I lost the receipt!) any suggestions?

Only put a Dottyback in there if that's the only other fish you want. Dottybacks should be added as the last fish, they will get territorial. Are you wanting an Orchid? They are the lesser of the jerks, but they will probably be more than $35. Firefish are awesome...one of my favs...need a covered tank for sure.

orchid? as in purple? I was thinking of the half purple half yellow dotty. but I think I will add him last if thats the case. I might do the firefish, but I'm still thinking about that one... its a tough call I might want to do a different one lol

[Myka]

You're thinking about the Royal Dotty...or maybe a Royal Gramma? Both can be quite the jerks. Depends what else you want to keep in the tank. The Orchid Dotty is the purple one with the black eye stripe. The one without the eye stripe is a Strawberry Dotty and a real big jerk...BIG jerk.

lol gotcha. Dottyback=last fish. firefish is a maybe, I think I might like a yellow watchman goby or bicolor blenny or tailspot blenny(if I could find one!!) or a 2 spot goby. I love blennies and gobies

I agree with myka about the dottybacks. Had one in my 55 and as much as I loved him he would beat the crap out of any fish I added. Their are so many awesome gobies as well as blennies that would be alot better for a nano tank.
