Stocking Questions...Please Help

[Clownfish11790]

I have a 20L reef tank. I have one yellow clown goby and 2 (Large) Skunk Cleaner Shrimp...

In the future I wish to buy:
-4 Bumble Bee Shrimp, reach 1"
-2 Striped Gobies, reach 1"
-1 Neon Eviota Goby, reach 1"
-2 Sexy Anenome Shrimp,reach 1.5"
-1 Tail Spot Blenny, reach 2.5"

Could all of those shrimp live together peacefully in the small confined space I have?

Also will the 2.5" blenny pick on the smaller gobies?

Will the single neon eviota goby live peacefully without a mate, or will he be harassed by the other goby pairs?

Please Leave Imput,
Thank you,
_Clownfish

Four gobies and a blenny probably aren't the best combination of fish. Even if they did live peacefully together five fish and 3 larger shimp in a 20L is a little overstocked IMO.

Ok, thanks, any other opinions?

I have a helluv a lot more than that stocked in my 24 and they are doing fantastic!

I have...
2 false percs
1 YWG
1 Tail spot blenny
1 Rainfords goby
1 Royal gramma
2 skunk cleaner shrimp
4 sexy shrimp
2 bumblebee shrimp
4 anemone shrimp
8 crabs
8 snails
5 feather dusters
a RBTA
2 clams
lots of corals
And I'm not done with corals yet I don't think

I do a 2.5 gallon water change every 4 days or so. It's so quick it only takes 5 minutes. I have a great skimmer, it's an Aqua C remora and I also have a fuge attached.
My fish are fat and happy, my parameters are perfect and there is no chasing or stress in my tank. I think it all depends on your husbandry and what kind of fish you are buying. I have all small fish that are peaceful and don't require a lot of swimming space. Eventually I will get a bigger tank and move the clowns, but for now, they are only 3/4 of an inch.

4 LARGE shrimp??? there isnt a single large shrimp in there.. the shrimp will be fine together,, actually here is a pico w/ them mixed in : http://images.google.com/imgres?img...eef+tank&svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&safe=off

and well anyway i think it MIGHT work.. but all those gobies dont sound like such a great idea

-Your tank is amazing and is truly an ispiration. Its amazing that you have all those organisms in your tank and it still looks beautiful.

-What do you mean there isnt a single large shrimp in there. ?


Would it work better if I left the eviota goby out?

Please respond.

"have a helluv a lot more than that stocked in my 24 and they are doing fantastic!"

24gallons is a lot more than 20L (which is what he asked about) which is about 5.3gallons..now I notice in his sig he says 20gal...
Besides that tank is less than a month old with most of the livestock being put in there in the last two weeks. Give it a year and let us know how all the inhabitants treat each other.

"4 LARGE shrimp??? there isnt a single large shrimp in there".
sorry didn't realize the bublebee was small...but he did mention that he already has 2 Large shimp in there.
