Assorted compatability (Gobies, Cardinals, Basslets)

[khaavren]

Thinking of adding one or two fish more to my 75 gallon tank to round out a nice community.

- I have only one Bangai Cardinal at the moment. I'm getting mixed feedback from the internet on how nicely non-mated conspecifics play together. Anyone have a guess how the one guy would respond to adding one (or two) more at this point? Happier with friends or likely to be picked on?

- Basslets are primarily "stick close to the rocks" type, right? Would a Randall's Assessor or Yellow Basslet be likely to run into issues with my Orchid Dottyback? FWIW the dottyback has been a perfect citizen so far.

- Any likely issues with a neon goby sharing a tank with a watchman goby? They don't look very similar so I'd guess it's OK.

Assume I don't have space or bioload issues, or potential compatibility issues beyond the ones I'm asking about.

Is this a reef tank? IME, the Bangai Cardinals will kill each other unless they are a bonded pair. I don't know I would do the 2 gobies. Basslet can be hit or miss. They almost have the same shape and appearance, just different color. Have you looked at the Midas Blenny? Also may take a look at one of the smaller Dwarf Angels like the Atlantic Pygmy and maybe a Chalk Bass.

Watchman and neon gobies will be fine together
