Hi,
I've got a ~230L fish tank coming - measuring in at 140*40*45, making it a long tank (almost 5ft) so plenty of swimming room, and also the rockwork is heavy with lots of hiding spaces.
Currently drawing up what I'm going to stock,
Only rule is, I'd be after tank bred's if I can.

So what I currently have:
2 Oscellaris Clowns
1 Speinger Damsel
1 Orchid Dottyback

I would like some of the following, just unsure how much:
Another Orchid to pair to the current one - as they're hermaphroditic I would buy as small as possible and hope for the best?
A Neon Goby (Single or Pair)
A Kamohara Blenny
Yellow Watchman Goby (Single or a pair) with a pistol shrimp.
A Rainford's Goby (Single or a pair)
Randall's Assessor (Single, pair or trio)
Flame Angel

At what point would you guys think of it as being overstock, assuming I am able to keep nutrients in check.
Thank You
 
Heard the same for every dottyback apart from the orchid, which are pretty peaceful little fish. Cheers though.
I had understood it was the least aggressive of the group, but mine was not peaceful at all.
I also a bit unhappy of how much time spent in the rock work, stupid me, this I should have known.
Why he was somewhat shy and reclusive, he defended his stake to the point where others could not even get within a foot of “his” cave, without being “intercepted”
He was traded in and all peaceful again.
just a bad experience....cheers
