is my stocking now sorted and okay?

Post by sweetie_22 »

i'd be looking to get
1 small turbo clown
1 small clown goby
1 cardinal fish
1 shrimp, but i'm still deciding
it'll be in a 14 gallon tank
and it'll be a xenia-dominant tank, with xenia everywhere

ive now been told that having a lone clown can be a bit of an issue, so i'm thinking of going with
1x purple firefish,
1x clown goby,
and i'd love to have a cleaner or boxer shrimp, but apparently they might see my fish as a snack, what's your take on it?

Hey Bae, just another thought -

Goby/Shrimp combo's an option, and maybe an Assessor?

For cuc, how about 1x blue leg, 1x turbo, 5x nass, and 1x cerith?
You might need to give this cuc a bit extra food though.

the only combo near me is 50 quid, it's pricey
i do like the assesor but i just cant seem to find one

i really want a clown goby, what else can work, here's what i can get hold of:
Red Spot Cardinal, Ghost Cardinal, Arc Eyed Hawk, False Gramma, Bluehead wrasse, Skunk Clowns, Common Clowns, or just the clown goby

the cuc idea sounds good to me aswell

and i like the assesor but can never find em

i really want a clown goby but what else heres a list of what i can get hold of but most may be no good
Red Spot Cardinal - cant have, Ghost Cardinal - only one i like but think they do better in shoals
Arc Eyed Hawk - dont know what this is, False Gramma - maybe but not a fan - think Tina likes them
Bluehead wrasse - no idea what this one is
Skunk Clowns - only the pink would be small enough but hard to come by
Common Clowns - maybe a pair of small juvies for a while, as long as you have space in to move them into your larger tank
clown goby - what about a pair, so cute

cuc sounds good to me aswell
you could have a shrimp too
