banggai cardinalfish info?

[trelise]

Hi guys.
I'm looking into getting baggai cardinalfish for the 20 gal I'm planning for later this year.
I've been seeing some inconsistencies on the internet and I'm not sure about some things.

First off, will a twenty-gallon tank be fine? I've seen info that says they need a 30 gallon.

Also, how many do I have to keep? Could I keep just one, or does it need to be a pair?

Tank stocking:
2x occelaris clownfish
1x citron clown goby
Maybe one other goby, not sure which one yet.
I'm new to saltwater and not 100% they're compatible, so I figure I should check!

You can have one or two, it will be fine either way and no they do not NEED a 30 gal tank. You will be fine as long as you dont overstock.

Also, your tank is only 20 gals, unless you have a load of filtration, I would suggest that you do not get more than 4-5 fish because it might be too much for your tank and equipment to handle.

I did buy a banggai 3 weeks ago but unfortunately, it died after 3 days for some reason. Dont let my experience scare you as many reefers kept them successfully for years. I was just unlucky I guess.

They are super chill and nice looking fish. Mine is always out in the open although it floats more than swims most of the time. Mine is solo and hangs out a lot with my clowns
