hehehe :o

Okay, see my signature, I have all those fish in the tank now. Everyone gets along famously since I've evicted the more aggressive guys I had. The only two that chase a little bit are the Royal Gramma & the purple stripe Pseudo.

Of course, my goal is to eventually have a full reef, but that's long term, won't happen overnight. Anyway, the few corals I have do look great and seem to be thriving. Having babies, growing, etc.

I just wanted to Come Out and say, These Are My Fish! LOL SO, do you think I have too many? Will I be able to add in another small goby or two a little ways down the road?

Also, how often & how much should I be feeding all these little begging piggies?!

Please be gentle!
 
No, I don't think you have too many for a 105G tank. I would probably feed 3 cubes of food a day.. but that's me. You only have 3 more fish than I have in my 29G. ;)
 
For me it would depend on the size. If you are going to put something like a small schooling fish no.. But if you wanted two 18" tangs then I would say only 1 and then that would be dependant on the length of the tank. But I don't think you have to many. With all of my small fish we have close to the same count and I have a 75. But then I also have a schoal of pajama cardinals that just sit and hover all day long, not much else. The only real actively swiming fish I have is the angel and gramma but even the latter isn't an all over the tank fish.

you owe me a cup of coffee! :lol2::coffee2:

CL - did you mean no more small schooling fish or that I can have another small schooling fish? Not that I want one. I don't want anything that gets big either. I'd like a green clown goby next, if I can find one locally. And eventually, once I'm positive I've got a booming pod population, of course I want a mandarin. Other than the Scooter. Other than those two, I just want more inverts and corals.

Thanks! Phewww! I was a little worried! :dance:
 
I'd really reconsider getting a mandarin when you already have a scooter. I noticed my pods depleting when I added a sixline wrasse with my mandarin and the majority of my rock is 3 years old and I was stocking up my sump with pods before I purchased the mandarin (which was before the wrasse). I only say this in case it makes a difference to your stocking "wants".

I can't see you having any problems, space wise, with adding another Goby, I'm impressed they all get on.
 
I think he meant you can have more schooling fish like more chromis or cardinals.. they are small..

Personally I wouldn't put a tang in a 4' tank.. but there are plenty of others who have. I like having lots of little fish vs a few big fish.

I agree with CPD.. 1 dragonette per tank is more than enough.. unless your growing your own pods in a seperate tank, I don't see how your tank can sustain a pod population for 2 dragonettes.
