could anything fit in a 1 gallon?

[Shark_Lover]

I was wondering if any kind of fish can fit in a one gallon, I want it to be a nano reef.

A singel hermit crab

Nah just joking , I think it would be a bad idea to try any Marine fish in such a little amount of water

 

[Shark_Lover]

I knew the anwser was no....

maybe baby fish? lol

Corals possibly, but I'm not a reef person. I've had that put to me as an idea, but went with a FW plant hospital instead.

The only thing you can do with a 1g is a pico reef consisting of very low maintainance small corals like zoanthids.

There are people over at nano-reef.com that have successfully run 1g pico reefs, but I can imagine it's not easy.

ok thank u.

i found this...

what are they saying about it being unclean? or are they taking the p!ss?

is it 0.75g? thats mad!

for a set up like that does it still cost the hundreds of pounds with the protein skimmer etc?

 

[OohFeeshy]

They mean all the muck on the glass, but they are taking the p*ss too

 

[Chac]

That is terrible and he has a fish & a Clam in there, bloody silly bugger

 

[steelhealr]

Horrible in my opinion. SH

those nano-reef people have no respect for livestock I tell ya. As far as the origional question goes only small polyps and maybe one or two small snails or hermits. but evaporation would be a major problem.

 

[steelhealr]

LOL..OPCN..I beg to differ (see tank specs). LOL SH

There is a fish in there, its not getting the respect it deserves, there are even nanoreefers who put tangs in 15 gallon tanks. I'll bet a snail or hermit could live comfortably in a picoreef of 1 gallon however. What exactly is it that you differ on?
