    Stocking Question for a FOWLR?

    So.. i am thinkinga bout getting a 29 gallon Saltwater aquarium. fish only. live rock


    My stocking would be


    2 Scarlet Skunk cleaner shrimp
    1 Yellow clown goby
    2 Percula clownfish

    would this be overstocked?

    If so. would the shrimps. the goby and one of the clownfish be fine? any Insight on this would be appreciated. thank you

    I'm no expert, but that sounds reasonable. Those are 3 small fish.

    And if you can find a pair of percula already together, that would probably be a plus.

    You stock a marine aquarium based upon the final size of the inhabitants.

    Two Anemonefish of that species will fill that tank. If you don't want a mated pair, then one Anemonefish of this species and the Goby would still leave a little room in the tank. Get them small and enjoy watching them grow!

    The 'problem' with the mated pair is that female gets much larger and creates a lot of wastes. They will also become very territorial and claim the entire tank as their own.

    P.S. VERY GOOD that you thinking about this before taking action!
