5 gallon fluval spec livestock question

[ffiel2]

So far I have a small clown in my tank. I am thinking of adding another clown, a yellow tailed damsel, a peppermint shrimp, a fuzzy mushroom, zoanthid. Is this to much live stock?

Maybe with 2 clown are good and that's pushing it

Way too much. 1 clown, shrimp and few corals will be ok.

My LFS has a 2.5 g tank with a huge live rock 2 clowns and a shrimp. They said it's been there for a year and they are happy. So I thought I could add a little bit more live stock since my tank is bigger.

Damsels get really mean, so I wouldn't even put one in the tank.

That's what I found out reading on some forums. So damsel is out of my list.

Just with the 2 clowns should be good [emoji106]
