If i had a
Tribal Blenny
long nose hawkfish

and 2 sunshine chromis.

Av619 dont know what sized tank you are talking about but I can comment on one fish on your list the tribal blenny. I have one and regret my decision to add him very mean little sucka cant wait for my tank move to evict him.

In a 5 gallon display yes. In a 500 gallon display, you'll probably be okay.

 

[Av619]

duh!!! sorry my bad guys!!!! haha its a 30 gallon

What kind of filtration, flow and nutrient export systems does the tank have? Sump? Lit refugium? Skimmer? Those will influence whether you can make that fairly dense stocking work or not. There are many other awesome blennies. I love my tailspot and I think the size and disposition would be more appropriate for your sized tank.

Good luck.

Doesn't sound like too many fish for a 30 gallon. You should be fine.

The type of clowns will play a huge role in this working or not. And factor in that when a pair starts to spawn, they will most likely become more aggressive, more so in a small tank.

i wouldnt mind getting some gold banded maroons but i know they are pretty agressive!!! i already have my tribal blenny he is about a inch and a half so he is small and seems nice... other considerations would be to not get the longnose hawk and get a pygmy angel ordwarf multibar angel. could i maybe also add a pink bar goby or a firefish helfrichi or a orchid dotty back

I have a 30 gal display with a 10 gal tank on the bottom that is a refuge with cheato and some halmidia.There is a sock filter and it also has a CPR HOB skimmer that says its good up to 60 gallons there are two maxi jet 900 returning water to the display (i dont know the real GPH but the GPH on the pumps are 230 each) I have a 750 GPH koralia power head in the display. The lights are a coral life 2 bulb T5 24" and a aquatic life 2 bulb T5 24" 50 lbs of live rock.

I am not dosing yet except when my calcium can handle it I am going to dose purple up.

Spawning clowns get really aggressive. Whenever mine spawn, they even attack the mag float and my hand if I get anywhere near them. I guess they never heard of the expression "don't attack the hand that feeds you."

Depending on the clowns you get, you could probably get a flame or lemonpeel angelfish. Liveaquaria recommends min. 30 gallons. The only thing is, they're both hit and miss for nipping on corals.

That's a really pretty set up.

thats pretty crazy! This is a total noob question. are they gonna spawn no matter what or is that only if I have them spawn? im assuming they will spawn no matter what and if I do not protect the babies they will be eaten.

the pygmy angel and dwarf multi bar were also on live aquaria for under 30 gal

And thanks Alien I made it myself!
