    College Nano ~ 20L REBORN!!!!

    Okay everyone, it's time to start a new thread! If you dont know the story of my 20L, please refer to this thread After the powerouttages/bad "fish sitter" incident, I took it slowly.

    Boxfish!

    I also considered a boxfish for a while..... unfortunatly, everything I looked at said to stay away from them in a reef environment with inverts. They are so cool looking, but I believe their personalities are almost the same as a puffer fish.

I had been keeping the eel comfortably (as well as I can tell) with two clown fish and a rainfords goby before the powerouttages crashed the tank. Currently, my eel is about 20-23 inches, so its not fully grown, and Im hoping...

    Orangeback Basslet anyone????

    Its going to be one of the sole occupants of my 20L tank. As a college student, the size of my tank is really limited by my budget, so for now, im stuck with a 20L. ;) Currently the only other thing in my tank fishwise is my White Ribbon Eel (which is not piscivorous in any way).... I am not...
