Can I get help of nano fish I can place in my 150g? I just got some yellow clown goby and love how small they are and how big they make the tank look. The depth they create also amazes me. So let me know the nano fish that you like so I can compile a list. Thank in advance.

IMO, nano fish in a 150 sounds kinda weird, but cool at the same time. I agree with peter though, if you get pairs of nano fish, they might find their own sections of the tank to call home and almost be like a bunch on nano tanks all in one big tank.

they do great with non aggressive big fish. my tangs completely ignore the small guys. i wish my one Kaudern's Cardinal didnt kill the other because its nice watching him chill in a spot.

That's a good price for a grown fish. I'm still in the planning section. But I'm putting it down on my list.

Rainfords gobies are pretty cool and sift the very top layer of sand without making a mess.
I love my masked gobies. I have 5 in my 66g (going all nano fish as well) and they stay in a group for the most part. Hover over coral.
Pistol x goby pairs are cool but unless you get real lucky with where the pistol carves a cave you may never see them.

If it's a friendly tank possum wrasse are strange to watch flow around.

Hectors goby is similar to rainfords but you don't see them as much.

Definitely look into tiger gobys. Really cool markings. Also Catalina gobies are probably my favorite nano fish! Saw these in person while scuba diving in Catalina and I didn't even know they were in the hobby. Also check hybrid neon cleaner goby, he can keep all your fish parasite free. Also cinnamon clown gobys are neat.

I'm unsure of the Catalina gobies needs but they are definitely cool fish!

I'm more of a fish guy since I have FOWLR only one SPS that I got from the LARS meeting. My tank would feel empty your more of a coralist.

A Pygmy Angelfish would be my suggestion...being that they love to swim through the aquascape. Just my two pennies.
