Fish stock list for 10 gallon mixed reef

[meir]

I was wondering what fish I can put in this new 10 I started up? But I want more unconventional species. Ideas anyone?? Thx

Yasha Goby paired with a pistol shrimp

I was thinking like this, my pair of clowns a blenny a goby pistol pair and maybe a dwarf angel

That could work, without the angel though.

What else wld work

I wouldn't recommend adding more than that on a 10 gallon system. My nuvo10 has only a pair of clowns that are eventually going to be transferred to my new larger system once its ready. I am planning on keeping only the goby shrimp pair

One or two small fish would be the maximum a 10 gallon could support. Any more than that will make maintaining good water quality a challenge. Angels are certainly out of the question in a system that small. I agree with the recommendation of a goby/pistol shrimp pair.

A colony of trimma or eviota gobies, a colony of barnacle or pike blennies firefish, yellow assessor, curious wormfish, geometric pygmy hawkfish, a pr of neon gobies, pictus blenny.

On any of the above, it really all depends on filtration and tank maintenance routine. As long as the parameters are stable and in the proper range, and there isn't aggression, a specific number can't be pinpointed as to how many fish are too many.

Though, an angel probably isn't a great choice for a 10g. Though possibly a cherub as the only inhabitant...

A tail spot blenny is always cool with a pair of clowns. I would resist overstocking but with good maintenance it could work. doing 30% weekly water changes isnt hard on a 10g.

Wld a small clown pair work with some blennies a goby shrimp pair and a hawk fish work

I think a clown pair would pretty much own a 10g, and would impede their will on any other docile fish. 10g is too small for any hawkfish in my opinion.

How abt the clowns (which I already own) a colony of barnacle blennies and a small shrimp and a pair black Ray gobies like this one

If you already have the clowns, I would say just do the shrimp and goby. Anything midwater or on the rocks will get attacked by the clowns in a 10g once they start spawning.

The clowns are very excepting....for now at least but yeah I'll do that

That's pretty conventional, but very overstocked.

I want fish tho that ppl don't have in a 10

If people don't have it in a 10 it's because you can't have it in a 10

 

[Defiant Arms]

you're killing me man it's two more letters for would "wld"

Why don't you just go up to a larger tank? With the stock list you want sans the angel a bio cube sounds right to me..

I've got a 10g with a pair of Occelaris clownfish. I think that's enough, actually maybe even too small for the clowns. I would only add another tiny goby.
