12-Gallon Nano-Reef Aquarium—Western Pacific
From Microcosm Aquarium Explorer
[edit] A Model Marine Aquarium
This beautiful little reef is home to a shrimp goby paired with a Tiger Snapping Shrimp (Alpheus bellulus).
The Purple Firefish and Yellow Assessor provide brilliant color, movement, and interesting behaviors without conflicting with the shrimp goby and its shrimp.
Provide a 4-inch-deep bed of sand with bits of shell and rubble, with rocky sheltering places for the other fish.
- 1 Redbanded Shrimp Goby Amblyeleotris fasciata
- 1 Purple Firefish Nemateleotris decora
- 1 Yellow Assessor Assessor flavissimus
