clarkii + jawfish + 6 line

[Noslen34]

is this a bad idea for a 20 gallon?

I have a clarkii in it now and i wanna add a jawfish in a week or so. But what do u think about adding a 6 line after the jawfish?

Thats a pretty small tank for three fish, but if you do it make sure your filtration and water chem. is perfect. With that small of a tank one bad move and your water chem. is down the drain. Not a bad choice of fish if you go through with it.

What kind of filtration do you have?

IMO, keeping a clarkii in a 20 is not a good idea. They get big (about 5"-6"). They're also very territorial and aggressive long before they reach full size. My female Clark's killed a rabbitfish bigger than she was when she was only 3" long--and she was living in a 75.

I've never kept a sixline, but I keep hearing that they're also aggressive as they get bigger, especially in small tanks.

Like was just mentioned, a Clarkii is a bad idea for a small tank -- they just get too big and way too aggressive.
