What size nano could i get away with for a singular cleaner or fire shrimp?

FOWLR.

Otherwise will consider a 10G with 2 clowns and a shrimp.

Been a while since done marine...

Whatever size that lets you get away with stable water parameters really, including temperature. I don't think there's any set rule, people just have there preferences when it comes to minimum size. But yeah, whatever you can get stable params with bro.

fire shrimp dont move around as much as cleaners, so it doesn't have to be that big

so what are we talking here, 5g, 10g?

10gal is reasonable size, could have a fire goby or a clown in there too.

5g on the other hand i could probably manage quite well without live rock, just a small hang on filter with purigen, a small powerhead, and water changes.

aqua one ar 380, is a 34 litre tank, which reptilez have, could have a fire shrimp and a few other smaller fish

i find this size good for shrimps or prawns

Back to Helping Morcs,

It all about stability, the more water you have, the more stable your tank going to be.

In lieu of volume, you're going to have to put a heap more time and effort into it in terms of W/C's (like, daily) especially 'till your tank ages out properly. Also temperature fluctuations are going to be bigger.

Not to put you off, but ideally, if you want a nice nano that is not going to take all your time and effort, get a nano size display and have a sump on it to increase over all volume.

All your gear is neatly hidden away, You don't have to over-stress W/C's etc, and you'll have a better environment for your shrimp...

Just my opinion, but I do not like the "All in one" type tanks, not least since they tend to charge like a wounded bull for consumables and replacement parts. Also tends to work out cheaper doing it in components, and not a big initial out-lay.
