Setting up a tank

[Fish_Kid99]

I am setting up a tank for my grandmother. She has been on LiveAquaria and picked out what she wants. I have a 20 gallon tank that has been set up for about a year. She wants the following in her tank.

Ocellaris Clown
Spotted Cardinalfish
Firefish
Blue Sapphire Damsel
Green Clown Goby

Mushrooms
Polyps

Scarlett Skunk Shrimp
Fan Worm
Mexican Turbo Snail x2
Dwarf Hermits x6

I know this is a strain on only a 20 gallon and was wondering what things should be removed. She is flexible on everything and does not matter if something is taken off the list. Thanks for everything

Take the damsel off the list

I would introduce the damsel last if you really want it.

Take the damsel off the list

+1 you'll never see that firefish otherwise

Like others have said take the damsel off the list

That's fine. She wanted a blue fish in the tank no matter what and I was wondering if there was another blue fish I could put in there.

They are not the same bright blue, but you can try a neon goby or a chalk bass

 

[Fish_Kid99]

Ok I'll definitely see about the neon gobies. So with the clown, fire fish, neon goby, clown goby, and pajama cardinal it won't be too much of a strain on the tank with the assorted inverts?

 

[RayL]

You should be okay as long as you add the fish very slowly and spaced out properly

 

[RayL]

If it were my tank I would add one fish a month, start with the firefish, then clown goby, neon goby, cardinal and clown last

If she wants a blue fish check out a blue assessor. I think they are ok for smaller tanks.

Be sure to cover the tank.
