cellowithgills Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I was thinking about throwing a couple of guppies in my non-comp femto. Any thoughts on other fish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islandoftiki Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 In a femto, you should probably sick with inverts. How about a small shrimp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Clown gobies are cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Inverts would probably be best, but a small goby like a clown goby or neon goby might be OK. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriz2fer Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Femto? Why are people calling it a femto? Wouldn't you call it a pico? Isn't a pico 2 gallon and under? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islandoftiki Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Femto? Why are people calling it a femto? Wouldn't you call it a pico? Isn't a pico 2 gallon and under? Well, pico is loosely described as anything under 5.5 gallons. We sort of adopted the term femto to describe a tank under one gallon. I would say this seems reasonable because the rules for a successful sub-gallon tank are pretty different from a pico tank. Everything changes at this level of size, and thus it seems reasonable to call this diminutive type of tank by a different name. I just pulled that explanation out of my behind, but it makes sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islandoftiki Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 So, these shot glass tanks with single aiptasia or majanos... are they Atto or Zopto tanks? I'm assuming a yocto tank would be a single drop of water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbird Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Oh man no one told me these where metric terms, no wonder they make no sence but are compleatly logical DOH! On a side note bring on the Yocto zooplankton tank (laugh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LC Scott Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 From what I've been reading even small fish will damage the long term success of a tank the size we have be trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramy Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I would have to agree that even if the fish is small like a clown goby that I dont think they would be very happy in a system that small. My yellow clown goby is very active and swims all over my 31 gallon tank I would not think he would last long in the small confines of a under one gallon system.

Cirenus Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 You could always try a Blackfin shrimp goby, they are beautiful. Love my blackfin shrimp goby whom is paired with one of my tiger pistol shrimp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
