Will these fish be ok together?

[Xgame2k]

I plan to get:

2 clowns (snowcassos (if i can get 2 that i like) or snowflakes)
2 flaming prawn gobies
yasha goby
bluespot jawfish
helfrichi firefish





in a Biocube 29 gallon.

Sounds fine. The clowns might get aggressive though. And I had a flaming prawn goby before too. I never saw it, so i gave it to my brother. They are extremely shy and you may never see it. I would also worry about the jawfish maybe eating them, but that could be a lie.

Anyways, sounds good. Expensive taste you have

Cool.Cool. I heard that the yasha and jawfish might be a bad idea too. I have 3 pvc tunnels i made and thought i just put them on opposite sides of the tank for the yasha and bluespot. The other would be for the flaming prawns in the front middle.

-I would get 1 or 2 candy basslets instead of the clowns, but i don't trust the tank enough. ha

Expensive taste, i knew it!! :lol: I'm not sure if the goby's would stay put. I thought i'd be able to keep the flaming prawn in a cave i built it, but it decided to pack up and move to somewhere i couldnt see. :mad2: I'm not sure as to why the bluespot and the yasha wouldnt be able to co-exist. The yasha is definitely big enough to not get eaten or at least harassed.

Have you thought about ditching the flaming prawns and getting pair of yasha's instead? I thought about getting a pair of yasha's and and pair of pistol shrimps. the idea blows my mind. :bounce3: The yasha may not come out very often if there is no pistol with it. Even at LFS's with little rock in their displays, they seem to hide a lot.

Every post I've ever read from anyone who has owned this fish said that they never, ever saw it after it was introduced. May say that they had assumed the fish were lost until they broke the tank down. I agree that these are very attractive fish, but they're so cryptic that it's really hard to enjoy them.

That what I'm sayin'! They're impossible to see. My LFS has one in a 2.5 with minimal liverock and even then its impossible to see. They look amazing, but i would strongly deter your from getting one through first hand experience.

You're never gonna see the flames. Pass on those. BTW, have you ever seen one in person? TINY!!!!

 

[Xgame2k]

blah blah blah. i didn't ask if i would ever see the fish in the list, i asked if they would not kill each other.


-its a 29 gallon tank (its tiny as well)

 

[reef_doug]

List looks good. Some of these are jumpers, especially the expensive BSJ and firefish.

 

[Xgame2k]

k. cool. i do have a lid and the back chambers sealed off.

That was pretty obnoxious. Sorry for trying to be helpful. Most people like to actually see the fish they spend good money on, and I guarantee you will not see those fish with those tankmates. My bad for generalizing though.

 

[Xgame2k]

3 posts in a row saying i was never going to see them was getting lame.

 

[SDguy]

Oh even better, agreeing opinions, that are no reflection on you, BTW, are "lame"

Have fun with your tank, buddy.

-the rockwork will have many caves and be very porous.
