Help with stocking!!

[pauldio1482]

Thx what’s your take on adding a very smal 1-1.5” sixline wrasse after a 3 week quarantine. To a lightly stocked 35.2 gallon it will only be 2-4 months then moving stock to a 60 gallon breeder..Right now all I have in the 35.2 is a colmbtooth blenny. A few hermit crabs and 1 emerald crab 2 turbo snails. That’s it. Oh and a royal gramma in a 20 gallon quarantine tank.

Welcome to reef2reef! You could try:

Royal gramma
Diamond watchman goby
Cardinal fish

Here is a simple to follow rule of thumb for stocking your fish tank. For a 35 gallon, you can have roughly 20-25 inches of full grown fish, so for example, ocellaris clowns get about 4.5 inches, so 4.5 + 4.5 = 9, so you would have about 16 inches still to work with.

Make sure you research aggression though. You have been in the fish keeping hobby for awhile, so I am sure it will not be a problem for you.

Sorry so long to get back to ya.but thank you for the info I’ll take all I can get till I get the hang of this it’s all working out by the way

Hello and Welcome to R2R! I had one clownfish that was so aggressive that it killed three fish before I realized it was the clownfish. He now gets to live in the qt tank.
