rrubberbandman November 24, 2022 Share November 24, 2022 Opinions please, Right now in my 20 gallon , which has 20lbs of rock and a 3 inch aragonite base, I currently have 2 Occ. Clowns, 1 rainfords, 1 tailspot. The rainfords and tailspot are best of friends. The clowns just do the clown things. Everyone is happy but I want to add another fish or two. Was considering a yellow watchman and Firefish. Thoughts? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaJMasta November 24, 2022 Share November 24, 2022 Probably possible with reasonable filtration, you're on the high side for fish load but not to a crazy degree, and neither consideration would be one to bully the others or occupy the same spaces, generally. I think the firefish would probably be the worse choice given the tank size, as they'd be swimming pretty much all the time, and it would also require a top (though I would use a top on the tank by default, at this point, things jump more easily than you'd expect when spooked even if not jumpers). A watchman goby, especially a small one, wouldn't swim nearly as much and would basically just be out of the way of everything else. Also the potential for a pistol shrimp partner, which is always neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
