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

the only shrimp goby combo near me is 50 quid, so pricey.
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
