Is this a good fish stocking list for a 40g?

[...]

I don't know if I am wasting peoples time with this thread but I just want to make sure this stocking list for a 40g?

-Maroon Clownfish
-Scarlet Hawkfish
-Spotted Mandarin
-Bicolour Blenny
-YWG Goby (With a Shrimp)
-Snowflake Eel

I will also just have 2 BTAs and some Euphyllia corals, I will have lots of inverts but I won't have shrimp or crabs.

Thanks if you guys reply

Wait sorry, not a YWG, I meant a Yellow Coral Goby without a shrimp, lol.

Hi! IMO, this tank is wayyyy too small for a full grown snowflake and it will become aggressive over time due to the lack of elbow room. The maroon may be an issue as well because it is one of (if not the most) aggressive clown who will start to harass tankmakes with maturity. Replace the maroon with maybe a Clarkii, percula, or ocellaris and remove the eel you should be good to go

Ohhh. Thanks!

Ohhh. Thanks!

The eel would also make a meal of your inverts, so not the best idea if you wanted a cuc!

Would I be able to add a Cleaner Wrasse maybe to clean the fish?

CuC wouldn't bother me to much since I would have a hawkfish. I only planned on things like snails, anemones corals, stars, etc.

Cleaner wrasse isn’t a good idea, a cleaner shrimp like peppermint or skunk would be better . Cleaner wrasses die often in aquaria because we don’t have the giant fish with a bunch of parasites for them to eat, but the shrimp are much better. I think a flame hawk may be an issue, but you can resolve that with a fire clown (also called black and red anemonefish) that looks very similar and get a longnose or geometric hawk instead, those two are large shrimp safe

I'm just going to write a list so I don't forget

-Pair of Clarkii Clowns (I like these as well.)
-Yellow Clown Goby
-Spotted Mandarin
-Bicolour Blenny
-I also wanted to add maybe 4 Yellow Tail Damsels because they look similar to the blue tangs and they are sort of peaceful for damsels

Oh cool, I am from Australia so we have a limited stock of fish and inverts.

Looking good! Wait about a year for the mandarin and dose pods several times before hand. A refugium really helps with pods for the mandarin and captive bred is really good because then you can supplement with prepared foods

Yeah, like I said though, in Australia we don't get captive bred specimens of Mandarins. But I will have a refugium and dose heaps of pods. I might dose the Brightwell's zooplanktonm
