Possible fish list for 28 jbj

[DragonRage]

Hey everyone, been thinking about starting my tank back up just trying to think of fish ideas. I came up with: 2 ocellaris clowns, a tail spot blenny, zebra dartfish, 2 wheeler's shrimp goby, and maybe a green clown goby. I'm thinking 7 fish is to much but I would be looking for smaller fish. Any ideas? I want active fish that are interesting to watch. Thanks!

I've got 7 in my 28g with no issues, but then again I have a large skimmer and my tank is well established at 1.5-yrs running.

My list, just for ideas:
* 2 x SA Fancy Snow clowns
* 1 x coral beauty angel
* 1 x ORA neon dottyback
* 1 x ORA spotted mandarin
* 1 x flame hawkfish
* 1 x royal gramma

Yeah, I love the blue dotted jawfishs but it would almost cost more than that whole list I made! If I saw on at my LFS for a decent price I would consider it. How does your royal gramma act with your other fishs? I heard they can be agressive at times.

I like my yasha hase goby which is a great looking fish but relatively shy. I have always wanted a tail spot so that is a great choice.

As mentioned the jawfish is an awesome looking fish but has some pretty specific care requirements like a nice deep sand bed to burrow in. I think i also read in tfh a while back that they like a temp a bit cooler then we usually keep our reefs at.

Either way the fish you have listed are all nice. Have fun deciding.
