10g stocking help!

[Adam113]

My NUVO 10 is a few months old, and I'm trying to figure out my stocking options.

Right now I have:
-A few corals
-Yellow watchman goby
-Pistol shrimp
-2 hermits
-4 snails

Now I KNOW that I want a Tailspot Blenny and a cleaner shrimp. The tailspot has been out of stock at multiple LFS for the past couple weeks, and I waiting for a pretty small cleaner.

In the time until I get these two guys, I'm wondering what else I can add? My LFS has a sale every weekend on assorted livestock, and this weekend one of the specials is Sexy Shrimp for $9. I see these guys stay pretty tiny. Anybody see an issue with me grabbing two or three Sexy Shrimp?

So if I got all of this, my stock list would be:

YWG
Pistol shrimp
A few sexy shrimp
A cleaner shrimp
Tailspot blenny
2 hermits
4 snails

How does this sound? Thanks for any help guys! I'm tired of seeing no action in my tank besides hermit crabs. I didn't realize just how reclusive YWG were.

Wish Mr. Yoby stayed out more. He's so cool.

Anybody??

I say u stay just with one fish because I have a 6 gallon nano and I have a bi color blenny and I when tried adding another fish and it didn't go well and I have 1 hermit crab and some snail but I wouldn't try to put all those stuff in my opinion , that's the bad thing about having a small tank u just want to add and add but you can't I know how it feels [emoji17]

Too small to add more fish...shoot my ywg is not reclusive at all...Walter is always out and like to hook after my clowns..good thing the clowns are faster...lol

For 10 gal you've already got a heavy bio load

 

[Michael Cronmiller]

The biggest thing you would face is definitely territory issues

Heavy load with a YWG and a pistol shrimp? 2 hermits and a few snails

 

[Michael Cronmiller]

Was including the wish list sorry

 

[Michael Cronmiller]

Cleaner shrimp if I'm correct creates as much waste as a couple small fish

If it were me and I knew that I could handle the bio-load.
Then I'd add a pair of small clownfish to live in up and call it day.

Yup. The clowns will get big eventually and then you'll just have to get a bigger tank.
cool

Or... Keep trading them in but I'd go with the bigger tank.
Gotta have a Nemo.
