Coolest/Rarest Nano Fish

[john26]

What are some pretty interesting and rare nano fish out there? Ones that easily take to frozen foods, not the hard ones to keep such as Jawfish etc. Something like a Helfrichi Goby or something along those lines.

How cheap are we talking?

I have several Flame Prawn Gobies. They can be weaned on to frozen food but mine preferred live food. I had to start mine on live adult brine shrimp and gradually introduce frozen food. They are very shy though and unless u keep them in a small tank they are not easily seen. They are not cheap either.

They are great looking little fish. Have they become more common in the trade or are they still pretty hard to get? I remember a few years ago they were almost impossible to get.

One of my favorite but we won't see these in the states for a while, since they are illegal it import.

Not rare but boy are they hardy and feed like sharks......check out the different neon gobies. Very interesting. Pending the type of corals you will have I would check into maybe a blood or skink cleaner shrimp. Don't have them with anything you don't want food stolen from in that sized tank

buy a frog-fish or an angler. Granted, you're feeding them live food, but that would be a cool 1-fish tank =)

+1 to the Flame Prawn Gobies. They are awesome little guys. They will eat prepared foods, but it is alot of fun to watch them Hunt for live Brine.

There are a couple of bassalets that are super rare that usually eat prepped food. They can get super pricey though
