What is the smallest tank that a diamond watchman goby should be kept? I have a 29 with a 10 gallon sump but i don't want to stress the poor guy out if that's going to be too small for him. Thanks Everyone!

I'm pretty sure one will be ok in even a 20, though I wouldn't recommend it. A 29 with a 10 sump sounds good to me.

So right now the plans are to have the following stocking list, given that all of these will be over time. One of my friends from work is ordering some fish so I wanted to get a couple things to get the free shipping attached with his large order!

- 2 Percula Clowns
- 1 or 2 Skunk Cleaner Shrimp (I was thinking I wanted two but I don't know if there will be enough stuff for them both to eat)
- 1 Diamond Watchman Goby
- 20 Red/Blue-legged Hermit Crabs
- 5-10 Nassarius Snails
- 15-20 Astera Snails

Any suggestions on additions or subtractions? Thanks everyone, as always. I know I couldn't have been so successful the past 5 years without you all!

I think you can decrease your clean up crew a little.

Yours sort of sounds like mine, but my system is 100 gallons.

sounds darn good to me......it's amazing that there are all these websites out there that suggest different ratios.

Right now I have 4 hermit crabs, 5 astera and I was just thinkinga bout adding a few more of each and then the clean shrimp but who knows. I guess it depends on who you ask
