Cbs W/ Blenny?

You could put at least half a dozen in your tank and as far as I am aware they do not need to be introduced at the same time. Be sure they are of a decent size (more than half an inch) or the dragonet ("blenny") may eat them.

I guess that I always seem to come across as the naysayer, but....(sigh). Although clownfish are routinely kept in 12G nanos, I personally don't think it is right. I don't think it is conscientious and that they deserve more swimming room. JMO.

As for CBS, I've never owned them but I have followed 'owners' for many years. They can be very aggressive and they CAN corner fish. I've heard that they can nail the fish when they are sleeping. Although there is no contraindication on keeping them in a nano-sized tank per se, you should be careful on their compatibility with you have in your tank.

ahhh,nahsayers save lives though i guess. jeez though. now i like the idea of sexy shrmp. but i know nothing of them. Will they clean fish? Are they as beneficial as cleaner shrimp? And dont worry about scooter eating them, hes only about an inch long.

Sexies live commensally with many types of cnidaria, including anemones and Acropora corals. On the latter they reportedly eat parasitic ciliates, preventing "brown jelly disease".
