No, only one. They do not like each other since they occupy the same ecological niche.

Hey sorry to keep bugging you, but I made a thread to see which Goby to get (diamond vs watchman) and others are saying that they will be fine together and should get one of each? http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2305510

Based on this thread alone I feel as though you're the person to ask, I just wanted clarification as I may have worded the question poorly (as I did not mean multiple neon gobies and multiple diamond gobies, but a single neon and a single diamond in the same tank).

A neon goby and a watchman goby will have no interaction. A watchman goby and a diamond goby will not work.
 
Hey,

What do you guys think of this list,

1 Clarkii Clownfish
1 Dwarf Zebra Lionfish (this one is a must basing tank around him)
3 Carribean blue chromis,
3 Hermit Crabs,
1 Turbo Snail,
1 Bicolor Angel

Also what order should they be introduced to the tank.

Any tips to a novice on saltwater tanks.

-Thanks

Dwarf zebra lionfish eat other fish. I do not provide commentary with predatory fish in the tank.
 
Possible Additions

Possible Additions

Here is what we are considering adding:
Two maroon clowns, 2 bonzai cardinals, 1 canary blenny, and 1 coral beauty angel
We also are curious about our hermit crab, he is a little large and did munch on our sick fish we had previously is he harmful to our fish?
29 gallon salt water glass tank. With live rock, and live sand. We have a built in filter into the hood of the tank, with a size H filter, and two output spouts. We have a Macrodactyla Doreensis anemone a hermit crab, and a sand sifting sea star. We have a Oceano protein skimmer, but cant seem to get the pressure to work.
 
Here is what we are considering adding:
Two maroon clowns, this species of clownfish will want to control 50 gallons of tank space once sexually mature. Since you only have 29 gallons, no other fish can be in this tank



2 bonzai cardinals, 1 canary blenny, and 1 coral beauty angel

Even if you had a more passive pair of clownfish, this would be too many fish for this sized tank

large hermit crabs can kill and eat fish

Recommendations?

Recommendations?

What can I put in a 29 gal tank?

How about...

One Maroon Clown

One Canary Blenny

Two bonzai cardinals or one coral beauty angel

Since we have a anemone we thought a clown would be a good addition?

Other suggestions for this size tank?

Thanks

One Maroon Clown

One maroon clownfish (Premnas biaculeatus) will eventually become female and will be a terror. This species is mean and your tank is really too small for a maroon clownfish and any other fish

One Canary Blenny

Two bonzai cardinals or one coral beauty angel I assume you mean Bangaii cardinals; without a maroon clown, these should be tank bred and a male and female pair

Since we have a anemone we thought a clown would be a good addition? You would need to insure that the species of anemone matches the species of clown. Not all anemones will host all species of clownfish.

Other suggestions for this size tank? As those who follow this thread know, I do not provide recommendations for a variety of reasons. However, I am always happy to reevaluate any stocking plan.

Thanks

Nuvo 38, got a multicolor dwarf angel, thinking about adding a Picasso clown and a clarkii clown. Also have blood shrimp, cleaner shrimp, and 2 babylonia snails.
 
Fell in love with a powder blue tang

Fell in love with a powder blue tang

I have a 90 gallon tank with sump underneath, live rock with macro algea, one cleaner shrimp, 4 chromis, one cardinal, one lemonpeel angel, two clown fish with anemone, six line wrasse, green brittle star, hermit crabs and snails, coco worm. I have a pom pom toadstool, Waving hands coral, zoanthids, green star polyps, florida ricordia, red mushrooms, colt coral, favia, hammer coral, war coral, sunset montepora, sun coral, chili pepper coral. My tank is set up so there are caves and a good amount of swimming room at top.

I found a Powder blue tang that I love but wont get it if you guys say no way.

The Reef Central minimum recommended tank size for tangs can be found here. I would definitely not add a Powder Blue in this sized tank.
 
Ok, I was hoping but I won't get him. Thanks for the info. No tang ever for me unless I get a bigger tank :thumbsup:

Good decision. For future reference, tank length is the critical dimension not tank gallonage. So if you do get a larger tank, look for the longest one your space can support.
 
Currently building a 75G tank with a 20G sump. 60-80 lbs of live rock & 80 lbs of sand in display tank, SCA-302 skimmer & refugium in sump. DIY LED lighting equivalent to 2x Ecotech Radion.

Planned stocking list:

1x Ocellaris Clownfish
1x Royal gramma OR Bicolor dottyback
1x Yellow watchman goby
1x Six line wrasse OR Mckoskers flasher wrasse OR 1x Vrolik's wrasse
1x Kole yellow-eye tang
1x Blue-green reef chromis
1x Golden Dwarf Eel
1x Kaudern's Cardinal (optional)
1x Mandarin goby (after 9-12 months assuming tank has matured)

1x Pistol shrimp (to hang out with the watchman)
1-2x Peppermint Shrimp
1x Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp

Would love a Coral Beauty or Flame Angel but am afraid I'll wake up one day to find it eating my expensive corals and have to rip the tank apart to get it out.

Any issues with the above list? If not, any particular order I should add them in?
 
I am in the early planning stages of planning an upgrade. I will be going from a 29 gallon BioCube to a 60 gallon cube tank with a 20-30 gallon sump. It will also have about 70 pounds of live rock and a two inch sand bed.

Current livestock to transfer

Solaris Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus solorensis)
2 X Skunk cleaner shrimp (Lysmata amboinensis)

My first draft of the additions

Yellow Ansesor (Assessor flavissimus)
Blue Gudgeon Dartfish (Ptereleotris heteroptera) Two if they will pair well.
Whip Fin Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus filamentosus) Or similar red fairy wrasse
Orange Stripe Prawn Goby (Amblyeleotris randalli)

Blood Red Fire Shrimp (Lysmata debelius)
Pistol Shrimp (Alpheus sp.)

Thank you for providing this invaluable service :D
 
Really? Damn!! Gotta do more research then. Didn't know that I thought all clown fish were the same except named differently because of their patterns.

No. Also, there is a vastly different level of aggressiveness depending on species. In general (overly simplified), the darker the coloration, the more aggressive. Thus, Gold Stripe Maroons are the most aggressive, Ocellaris, the least. However any bonded pair, or female, will be aggressive, especially in a smallish tank.

Planned stocking list:

1x Ocellaris Clownfish
1x Royal gramma OR Bicolor dottyback very aggressive, no compatible with a sixline wrasse, or any fairy or flasher wrasse
1x Yellow watchman goby
1x Six line wrasse OR Mckoskers flasher wrasse OR 1x Vrolik's wrasse six line is very aggressive and will preclude a mandarin (which is not a goby, it is a dragonet); Vrolik's is not invertebrate safe
1x Kole yellow-eye tang
1x Blue-green reef chromis
1x Golden Dwarf Eel not invertebrate safe
1x Kaudern's Cardinal (optional)
1x Mandarin goby (after 9-12 months assuming tank has matured) In this sized tank, cannot have other copepod eaters, of which you have several
