25g Final Stocking List

I’d think adding another should work out, just take precautions when doing so.
Did it attack you only in the 9 or also in here?

Only in the 9. I did put in the 25 but thats cause I put my hand in once to re arrange one rock and she was sleeping in her cave. What precautions should I take?

Good precautions when adding a new clown (or really any fish to a tank with a potential aggressor) would be to rearrange decor and isolate the aggressor (giving the new guy a chance to get used to the surroundings) or keep the new guy in an acclimation box (so the aggressor can get used to him).

Alright, thank you so much. Currently, waiting for a shop to get it in stock cause they sell it between 27$ and 68$. There are other shops but their prices are higher and this would kinda play to my benefit cause my mom will only get me later.

Ok so I think the name of that pistol shrimp is a red spotted snapping shrimp or

Alpheus rubromaculatus.​

Anyone know about it?

UPDATE

So I have a choice now. Either, I can get a discounted Designer Clown - 120 AED or a Disounted Harlequin Shrimp - 110 AED. (Will try to bargain prices a bit lower) Also, want to share a concerning text - thoughts?

Harlequin shrimp will cost much more when you factor in feeding. They need a diet of live starfish and will eat a lot of them. Difficult for even the most advanced of keepers.
I’d sooner get a clown (just one thing to be wary of is that the black morphs tend to be meanest, so go for an orange or white one).

Quick search says it naturally pairs with the whitecap goby - not sure if it will with a cryptocentrus goby.

UPDATE

Since the initial post, I have added a GSP and a Harlequin Shrimp. An LFS is selling Flame Cardinals. Should I pick up 2? Also looking at picking up an Algae Blenny/Salarias Blenny? This good?

 

[Sharkbait19]

I’m not sure if 2 works (they may fight in small numbers), so you may want to do one instead. Imo the tank isn’t large enough for a lawnmower but it can work.
Careful with the harlequin, they only eat starfish and can get very expensive to feed very fast.
