Abarger16 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) I have a 20g H that ive turned into a AIO and I was curious if im getting over zealous on the stocking list. Currently have a pair of ocellaris clown and a firefish goby(standard red) I have quite a bit of rock in the tank not a lot of room for free swimming fish. But im wanting to add more fish and my want list is Rainfords goby Mandarin gony (preferably a biota captive) Blackcap basslet or royal gramma what ever comes first. My thought is I can definitely add 1 more fish but was wondering if I could get away with another I guess what im asking is if i could combine any combination of these 3 together with out agression.

Deuce00 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I’d stay away from a mandarin in a tank that small. I think 3 fish for a 20 AIO is plenty. Dustin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rainsford will likely be fine. I'd definitely rule out the mandarin unless you are going to supply live pods on the regular. You can get them to eat non live, but it's hit and miss. The blackcap or royal should also be fine, but they may also take out your firefish and Rainsford eventually... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abarger16 Posted July 6, 2022 Author Share Posted July 6, 2022 The mandarin would come after I have an established pod culture. Also I have a 75 ready to go just need to do plumbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtarmitage Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 yeah, the 20g just can't support enough pods to keep the mandarin from starving. The 75g would be fine after 6-12 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
