want to add some fish, will it work

[Aslmx]

want to add, lawnmower blenny, scooter blenny, yellow watchman, 2 yellow clown gobies, 2 fire fish, 3 peppermint shrimp, emerald crab, 30 snails and 30 crabs to the cuc. 75 gallon with 1 small scopas thats about to go and a small bristle tooth that i want to keep for awhile and 2 nemos that never leave their post.

I have three comments for your stocking list:
- I would not add the firefish. Both the bristle tooth tang and a clown pair can be a bit boisterous and may keep the firefish from coming out which will result in them starving to death.
- Unless you have a very large sump that is culturing a massive amount of copepod or culturing a lot of copepod, I do no think the scooter blenny will get enough food and will eventually starve to death.
- Even though you have selected smaller fish, personally I would not keep more than 8 fish in your tank and without the firefish you would be right there.

I have to disagree on the scooter blenny. They are a lot easier to get on frozen food than a mandarin. I have a red scooter in my 25 and she eats frozen very well. I do have plans for a larger tank but for now she is doing well.

They will eat frozen, but that won't sustain them. These fish still depend on hunting pods to stay healthy long-term.

I realize that but in a 75 gallon plus being fed frozen I believe a scooter blenny would be fine.

How long does it take pods to get started

I had a mandarin for 2 years without pods but I really want to have some pods. Where and what are the best to get.
