Shrimp Gobies

[fishmutt]

Its a 13g nano reef. They would be going with a candy cane pistol(would get it at the same time as the goby). Also a scooter blenny and a baby bangaii. Im a little stuck between a few gobies. R any of these combos possible?
Randalls goby with high fin
High fin with yasha
Yasha with randalls
Yasha with high fin
Randalls pair (not bonded)
Yasha pair (not bonded)
High fin pair (not bonded)
High fin small group (3)
Yasha small group (3)
Randalls, yasha, & high fin
If none of them r possible. Which 1 would u recommend i should get then?

Anyone???

Okay i decided 2 get a yasha. But could i get a high fin as well?

No i think a yasha would be the only one you could get, most if not all gobies will kill each other if not in a very large tang, also i hope you know that scooter blennies need a lot of live rock to sustain the large population of copepods which makes up their diet. Other than that it seems to be a good plan however 3 fish in a 13 is a relatively large bio load so you will need a good filtration system or a protien skimmer rated for 30 gallons or more

Shrimp gobies are territorial so just stick with 1 unless you get them as a pair. It may not go with the Blenny either.

+1 only one shrimp goby & no scooter blenny. A scooter blenny is actually a dragonette & eats copepods & a 13 g will never sustain it. 2 fish maximum in that size tank.

The scooter eats frozen mysis, brine, bloodworms, and cyclops. Plus there is a good amount of live rock. I also got 2 HOB filters and a HOB skimmer. Also 5g wc weekly. I heard that the stonogobiops family is EXTREMELY peaceful and will coexist with others of the same family. Just wondering if that is true or not.

You can not get another shrimp goby period.

Ya i know. I am only going 2 get the yasha. I was just wondering.

Besides even if it was your tank would be wayyy overstocked if you put 2 in
