Will These Fish Work?

[GoTakeANap]

I currently have a 75 Gallon and a 29 gallon tank set up. Im about to take my 29 gallon down for good. Was wondering if the fish from the 29 gallon would be ok with the fish in my 75 gallon tank.

75- coral beauty, firefish golby and a black/white clown

29- longnose hawk and a yellow watchmen goby.

I know the watchmen and firefish may have problem but ive always heard in bigger tanks it shouldnt be a problem. Any ideas if these will work?

They should be OK. However, the personality of the watchman will be the determinant. I have a watchman goby that is SUPER aggressive to fish with similar body types. How long have you had the watchman?

for ab 4 years. the watchmen has never attacked any of my fish and just minds its own buss under a rock.

Anyone know?

Longnose hawk will likely just do his thing. I have a longnose and flame hawk both in my tank with a YWG and multiple other fish with zero issue. Longnose doesn't pay boo attention to anyone else and YWG just cruises around the lower part of the tank and hangs out in his burrow. The longnose tends to perch at about the highest point he can find, so he can watch everyone else, so he is a long way from YWG.
