Pico of the Picos

[NatureFish]

IMO a 20 long is a decent sized tank. So it really surprised me that a nano is considered a tank 20 gallons or less. This thread is a thread where you can show off the super tiny tanks 5 gallons and under. Well, that is if you even have tanks that small...
Looking forward to seeing them!

I would love to see some pics of tanks under 5 gallons too! (I don't have one under 5 but love looking at tank pictures!) Cool thread idea.

Here is the little 5G Chi MacroAlgae tank,
has a Teal Trumpet
2 little round whitish yellow sponges and a bunch of Pineapple sponges now, Feather Caulerpa and red and green grape,
a little Turtle Grass start,
Black Codium,
a couple kinds of red Gracilaria,
Bubble algae red,
Green Turf algae,
A small shaving brush I broke off and it is slowly growing back
Little Halimeda that's trying to hang in there

Bristle worms and a bunch of little snails,
Dwarf Cerith and
a Trochus snail,
a Stomatella snail

I think that is about it. I will be trying to find a few more MA to add to the bunch. And I DON'T like the Bristleworms, though they really enjoy the holes in the rocks to use to slink in and out of...

I did plant the Turtle grass btw

Ah, a flat marble like comes out of a Betta tank, lol. The pink sand is Garnet sand, and originally was in a FW tank, somehow that ended up in some of the little rocks and stuff when it was in the FW and it just turned up from the middle of the sand when i was moving stuff around.

Shrimp goby? Should be fine if you pair it with a pistol, they rarely are a few inches from the burrow entrance IME.

Agree 100% about leaving the burrow. I never find then anymore than 3", maybe 3-1/2" from their burrow, but I can hear him snapping away !!

Has anyone heard of a tank less than a gallon? I'm trying to do one that's a little less than half of a gallon.

Local fish store has a little one here is the close up about a half gallon like a square vase one might use at a wedding.

Oops forgot the absolutely awful FTS

That's pretty! I have the LFS Holding a tank for me that I wanted to put a clownfish pair in but on second thought I think it's inhumane to keep clownfish in a 5 gallon. Am I right or is it ok to put clownfish in a 5?

I want them to live a full 20 years so I'm thinking the answer to my question is no I cannot get any in that tank.
