3 gallon stocking

[spec33]

would this work as a stocking list?
2 blue legged and 1 scarlet hermit
1 peppermint shrimp.
possibly some kind of snail
maybe a small goby

 

[Mandrew]

I don't see any issue with that

 

[eatbreakfast]

That should be fine.

 

[spec33]

which goby would be the least finicky eater. I heard clown gobies are hard to feed? Would a neon goby work?

A neon goby would be an excellent choice.

are they picky eaters at all?

Not at all IME.

 

[spec33]

Not at all IME.

okay thank you!

 

[Mandrew]

I had a clown goby that ate fine as well

 

[eatbreakfast]

IME clown gobies can be hit-or-miss on feeding. Yellows seem to be the easiest.

 

[Mandrew]

I have a yellow watchman goby he's pretty cool but not very active.

If you're looking for least finicky eater, this might not be the best choice goby, but the flame prawn goby is just so cool!

 

[spec33]

that is one cool fish!!!!!I'm assuming it also comes with a large price tag. Would a small yellow tail damsel possibly work?

 

[spec33]

would this be fine?
5 veryyyyyyy tiny blue legged hermits
1 trochus 1 nerite 1 large cerith
and a goby

 

[Mandrew]

I think 5 hermits would starve in a 3g

 

[spec33]

I think 5 hermits would starve in a 3g

even with eating the leftover food from the goby? What if I dropped in one of those sinking shrimp pellets once or twice a week. theyre really tiny like the size of a kidney bean maybe a little bit bigger.

 

[Mandrew]

I'm not sure. I was thinking more along the lines of not feeding them so if you do then it may work

I love the flaming prawn goby! I want one but they are so small. i could get one but it would never be seen in the current setup that i have. Very colorful fish. I vote for the flaming prawn goby
