peaceNchaos Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Sup all So im trying to put together a stocking list for a 110gal (calling it 100gal - water displacement from rocks etc) tank, 90x80x60cm. Tank will be semi low tech, so want to stock at around, maybe just over, the halfway safe mark. Read heaps about fish mass vs length vs aquarium size vs territories and I **think** ive found a compatible list - but wanna run it by people who know more than me first. Any issues with having these guys together? - Percola Clownfish Pair (1 3" Female + 1 2.5" male) = 5.5" - Tailspot Bleny = 2.5" - Royal Grama = 3" OR Mandarin Fish = 4" - Clown Goby = 1.5" - Watchman Goby = 3" I work this out as 15.5" of small slim fish total, or 1" per 7gal of water. Does this look right for a half/ish stocked 100gal? :dunno: Im really dead keen on a Goby/Shrimp pairing, the whole symbiosis thing rocks, but cant seem to find info on wether once the Watchman and hopefully Pistol Shrimp have paired up and claimed a sandbed cave, theyl stay there and leave the smaller Clown goby alone, or wether the two are incompatible for a tank this size together? The two goby species, I mean. I know the Mandarin fish is supposed to be quite difficult to keep requiring a very mature tank, Id plan on this as my last addition about a year after the tank is set up/cycled. Also if I have these inverts/CUC together with those fish, will I likely have any problems? :ske: 1 Pistol Shrimp (goby Combo) 2 Skunk Cleaner Shrimp 2 Brittle starfish 15 Trocheas Snails 15 Nassaurius snails 2 Scarlet Reef Hermits (hopefully some hitchhiking) Stomatellas 1 Sea Cucumber Brittle Stars and Sea Cucumber to be added last of all, assuming they dont hitch in somehow. Good mix? Varied algae/detritus/sandbed/glass cleaning mixup? Do we get these species commonly in NZ? Any feedback welcome! Peace :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 with the fish royal gramma have been known to eat shrimp sometimes, spot on about the dragonet you will want heaps of live rock to support pods also also gobys may fight each other but someone with more experience may know more on this and wether the two species you picked would be ok. more than likely you will get brittle stars with liverock as a hitchhiker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaceNchaos Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Hmmm dont wanna do a reef without shrimp, wouldnt feel right I reckon. Possibly rethink the Gramma then - at the least till the shrimp are huge and see if that works maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
