Would you call it a day....

Well nothing serious! I have a 40g long, sumpless, and here is my stocklist:

In Tank:
2 juvie clowns
1 hector's goby
1 Gold Neon Goby
1 Hoeven's wrasse (3")
1 small emerald crab
2 small peppermint shrimp (i hope...)
a dozen or so rather large astrea and trochus snails
5 ceriths
3 nassarius

In QT:
1 juvie pygmy cherub angel


Can I get away with 1-2 more fish that may get 3"+ or should I call it quits with what I have?

I'd like to consider a starry or tailspot blenny and perhaps another herbivore.

Seems you have small fish I guess 1 one could go in there but watch and see how the new angle reacts with the other fish.

6 in a 40 is a lot.

Yeah with no sump... i would say quit.

Just curious... 6 is alot needs a bit more qualification... 6 1" fish at full grown is not a lot where 6 4" fish would be.

But I am pretty sure I am in agreement though, I don't think anymore fish will be going in. Maybe if I can't resist come the fall, when I will be prepping a much larger tank project for the winter...

I agree. Especially since those clowns once sexually mature will be aggressive.

None of the fish you listed max out @ 1" and I was speaking to that.
