Would These All Fit

[ALW]

I am wanting a Marine Tank, and i was thinking would all these fit into a 20G tank (nano reef)

2 Clownfish
3 Yellowtail Damselfish
3 Neon Blue Gobys
2 Blood Shrimp
1 Electric Blue Hermit Crab

also would a Clownfish Anemone be ok to have in it

Not unless you wanted a battle royale . Sorry Andy, but the clowns and damselfish would beat the hell out of each other and that many neon gobies in a small space is anybody's guess as to what would happen there. Hate to burst your bubble, but that's prolly not gonna work . And as enticing as an anemone seems, they are truly difficult animals to keep. Please please make sure you do your dilligence reading about them before you purchase one.

aye ive got to agree with ski, i had 2 clowns and 2 damsels and it was hellish! i had 2 trade my damsels in to calm my tank down, gobys to, great fish, great charactors but they hate there own kind, i'd maybe try a royal gramma or 1-2 chromis.

i agree with ski here (and pretty much everywhere else)

I'd a 80/90litre 2' Juwel tank with a couple of kilos of Fiji LR, 2 clowns, an orange spotted blenny and a cleaner shrimp, lots of turbo snails and a few hermits, tank was pretty tight, that was the max i'd advise, I had an external canister filter and a HOB skimmer
was fairly hard to keep salinity correct

what would you recommend then, the clownfish are a must

Could you not stretch to a 3' 120litre tank?
Its only a small bit bigger but would give you alot more options?

 

[ALW]

Maybe why?

 

[Musho3210]

bigger the better philosophy

 

[cynos]

The bigger the tank the easier it is to maintain salt/nitrite/phosphate levels etc
also the more water the more fish

 

[SkiFletch]

And with the extra length you can get into some fish that really like to swim some more like wrasses.

 

[ALW]

so what would you recommend then

I have decided to go for

2 Clownfish
4 Chalk Basslets
1 Neon Blue Gobys
2 Blood Shrimp
1 Electric Blue Hermit Crab

 

[Musho3210]

2 clowns, one goby, good starter tank.

That stocking is just fine.

If you take over half the fish...

Forget the basslets and the clowns / goby will do fine.

Oh, and while we're talking about stocking, a redtail black shark is entirely unsuitable for a 72ltr tank
