Would these 3 fish thrive together in a 10g

[dimitrinivo]

Hey guys, would these 3 fish be fine together in a 10 gallon?

-Firefish
-Green clown goby
-Yasha goby or wheelers goby

If they won't work together I'll re-home the green clown goby, please lmk

It's a 10 gallon with 10 lbs of sand, 10 lbs of rock, a Seachem Tidal 35hob filter, a 528gph power head and weekly 20% water changes, 3 months old.

The yasha goby and green clown goby would but personally 10 gallons is a little small for a Firefish

I do agree that it's not the most ideal setup for a firefish but I do think he'd still be fine long term in the 10 gallon. I already own the firefish, I'm just moving him out of my 40 gallon into the 10 cuz he's kind of skittish around bigger fish

What I really want to know is if all three would be okay together or should I limit it to the firefish and one goby

I think those 3 fish are fine in a ten gallon together just make sure you have lots of caves because they are all cave lovers also if possible get the shrimp goby a pistol shrimp the best pistol shrimp for that size tank is a candy cane pistol shrimp

wish I could comment on compatibility. I can testify that the longest I ever kept a fire fish alive was when he spent most of his life in my 10g cube so tank size should not be an issue. I had him in there for over 2 years.

Yeah I got lots of nooks crannies for them to hide into. I do indeed plan on getting a pistol shrimp for the Yasha. The clown goby is rarely ever seen and hides in the rocks, only comes out to eat haha.

Thanks guys, I know it's a little small but I just wanted to make sure it was still sustainable

IMO it is ok, in my experience gobies are harmless, especially clown gobies and firefish. Just cover the tank though

 

[UkiahTheTurtle]

How deep is your sand bed??

Theyd all get along fine most likely. Thats not a big bioload either

 

[dimitrinivo]

How deep is your sand bed??

About 1.5"

I have one of those glass versa tops

Only inhabitants rn are the clown goby,. A rock flower nem and a porcelain crab

pistol shrimp require about 2 - 3 inches of sand to make a proper burrow

In the tanks I have seen in person it looks like the majority of the sand bed is quite a bit shallower, maybe around the 1 to 1.5'' mark and the shrimp will mound it up where he wants it.

Of course this is just observation of others tanks. I have never kept one.

Thanks for your input, but I think the majority of folks think it's fine, including myself so I'm gonna go through with it. Everyone's opinion different, so no disrespect

 

[1guydude]

Its all good. I just try to give my honest opinions. Happy reefing!
