[kyman2391]

Ok here is the list of fish i am thing of getting for my 24 gal Aquapod. I want to see what you guys think of the list.

1. Longnose Hawkfish (1)

2. Ocellaris Clownfish (2)

3. Diamond Watchman Goby (1)

4. Blue Damsel (1, already have)

5. And 1 more fish i cant recall the name, it was a smaller fish, long and it was orange in the middle and yellow around it. (1)

6. Maybe peppermint shrimp (1)

7. Nassarius Snails (2, already have)

8. I also want to get some corals and such just not yet

you are pushing it in a 24 gallon. I'd skip the clownfish pair and go with a 6 line wrasse instead because Damsel and clowns will probably fight. The 6 line wrasse will be able to hold it's own against the Damsel little better.

Also, the Hawkfish will probably eat the shrimp. If the "orange in the middle with yellow around it" fish is a bottom dweller it might be ok. I'd avoid it if it's a "swimmer."

Im probably going to take back the damsel (if i can). Definitely want the clowns, i can do without the shrimp.

Nix the goby: get a yellow watchman, much quieter: the diamond will throw sand from one end to the other---they're for 100 plus gallon tanks, and prone to starve to death in anything smaller. You sure that mysterious fish wasn't red-purple at one end and yellow at the other...that would be a royal gramma: ok.

 

[kyman2391]

Ok will do on the goby, and yea im sure it wasnt a royal gramma

I'd cut back to three fish on that list, maybe two. A pair of clown should be nice.

 

[kyman2391]

yea thats what i thought to, i think ill cut that fishthat i dont know the name of, and the blue damsel im going to take back(can i do that?), and im dont think ill get the peppermint shrimp.

The shrimp are fine. They don't add much load.

If you like some of the smaller goby fishes, they might work. A neon or small clown goby might be fun, for example.
