Additional stocking options?

[WillowDemetriou]

I have a fluval 60l tank. I currently have 2 clownfish, and a cleaner shrimp. I don't have any corals as of yet but looking to get some soft corals in the future.

Looking to get some more fish and cuc soon and wondering what some good options are?

Also, the sand has some algae, as well as algae on the rocks, so wondering if you have any good cuc advice here?

Trochus and turbo snails for the glass, spiny astrea snails and ring cowries for the rocks, cerith and nassarius snails for under the sand bed and conches and black sea cucumbers for on top of the sea bed.

Are these all safe and friendly with soft corals?

is that a 60 litre, or 60 gallon long? If its 60 litre, then you got room for maybe one more fish, how about a shrimp/goby pair? Blennies also have interesting behavior. Gobies and Blennies have all kinds of different colors to chose from.

Yeah, it's 60 litres. I liked the look of the fire goby. I was wondering if that could pair with a shrimp? What gobies and shrimp pair?

fire goby is not a shrimp goby, it will not pair, but it is an amazing fish, it will work in that tank too if you want. You can still have a shrimp even if it has no goby to pair will, it will just do its own thing. But its pretty unique to see the shrimp/goby bond.

Examples of shrimp gobies are watchman, yasha, orange stripe, orange spotted, there are dozens to be honest, but google 'types of watchman gobies' and you should get a lot of idea's.

Yes, these are all reef safe (I have all of them in my tank).

Thank you. I have a cleaner shrimp atm. I will definitely check out the goby/shrimp pairing
