my pico - so many options, so few options

[aggieMEDIC]

What should i put in my pico? (thanks James)

Its a 1.5g little LED light (i think its 9 or 12 led's) its got a little tetra air powered filter. i did some diy work and took off the air powered part and tossed on a mini jet 404(the green one) so that works pretty well.

i have like 2lbs of LR maybe a pound of sand (not live yet) I put in a piece(very small) of shrimp to start the cycle and have a little hermit in there with some macro (halmedia)

so as far as livestock what should i look at.

shrimp- I was thinking either cleaner or peppermint .
Mushrooms - maybe a frilly mushroom (from the nano)
zoo's - (5 or 6 different kinds)
Rics - gonna have to get some.
GSP - Carefully placed as to contain them
a few hermits

i was thinking dwarf seahorses 2 maybe, but not until i have the labor and delivery ward finished.

as far as i can think its too small for any actual fish, I would love to have a little tiny fish in there but most of them grow too big for 1.5g. I need a fish that doesn't swim (maybe a fat ugly fish that doesn't ever move)

a penny for your thoughts...

check out www.nano-reef.com (http://www.nano-reef.com) they will have lots of great info. Those guys specialize in nano and pico aquariums.

2-3 Sexy shrimps (Thor amboinensis) instead of a peppermint or cleaner would make for an interesting group you can watch.
Stick with softies for such a small pico. You list looks like a good start with mushrooms, zoas, gsp, ect.
Some gobies are small fish, but it is not a good idea for a fish to be in a tank that small, imho.

welcome to maast!!!

i saw a harlequin in a pico once and thought that was a great idea as long as you fed it a starfish every month or so

you can also enjoy the starfish until it gets ate up

here is a pic, they are gorgeous and i love mine, so much personality
