Who keeps more than 2 fish in a 10gal FOWLR?

[jipps]

I know it's obviously frowned upon but I'm curious if it's possible. With bi-weekly water changes, 10-15lb LR, and a black and white clown pair, would it be all that disastrous if i added another fish 'rated' for 10gallons?

i wouldnt think so

idk about frowned apon

maybe bigger fish
but not clowns

i have a pair in my 12g
a lot of other reefers do also

I already have a pair of clowns.

I'm saying what if i add a firefish or a yellow watchman goby...or even a pair of one of them?

 

[Steven0000]

i would say a pair of anything else might be pushing it
i think another fish would be suitable though
all though others might not agree

does the yellow watchman goby sift sand ???

I have a pair of false perc's in my 10 gallon, I'd love to add a small sand sifter if the yellow watchmen does that, and add a shrimp for him to pair up with (what kind of shrimp) and of course a cleaner shrimp as well ... already have 6 astera snails and 4-5 blue leg hermits in there with about 10lbs of live rock... ac70 hob filter and a ac-20 power head...

My yellow watchman doesn't sift sand. And according to this article it's not a sleeper goby of the family Valenciennea.

In a ten gallon a pair of clowns will get very territorial as they mature. They'll eventually harrass to death most tankmates in a ten gallon ime.

my yellow watchman never sifted sand, until i introduced a diamond goby into the tank. he tried to mimic the diamond, but he soon gave up the new habit lol

I have 4 fish.....pair of onyx clowns , green goby, neon eviota goby and 3 sexy shrimp.......largest fish is one of the clowns...1 1/4" at the biggest. Not a FOWLR tank, I have some zoo's and mushrooms.

IMO..............You'll be fine with weekly or every 2 week water changes of 2 gallons.
