I am trying my best to semi-finalize a fish list so that I can determine a stocking order and eventually get some fish! Or at least get something into a q-tank.
Tank is 90g, setup on 1-1-04 (easy to remember), and now percolating along happily with 100lbs live sand, 200 lbs. live rock, and a TBS clean up crew. 15g refugium is finally growing some good macros, and my pods are reproducing rapidly. My temps are (and will continue to be) on the high side- up to 82ºF most days.
I am of course open to suggestions here- but am watching my anticipated bioload pretty closely and don't want anything too aggressive.
I do know that I definitely intend to keep one lawnmower blenny, one Mandarin (in due time of course), and one pair of clownfish (species yet to be determined).
I would like a small school/shoal of something (not in the chromis/damsel family) to add a bit of movement and color and thought neon gobies just might be the right choice.
But (surprise!) I again find conflicting information regarding their behavior in multiples. Does anyone have firsthand knowledge of them being kept in a small group of say 5-7 fish? All juvies, all added at once?
And if it should be possible might you recommend a stocking order?
Thanks-
I'm figuring out that the learning never ends!
