16 Gallon Biocube Stocking

[FishAreCool]

I have changed my stocking list, I have a 16 gallon biocube. Would these animals work?

1x Citrinis Clown Goby (Gobiodon citrinus)
1x Pajama Cardinalfish (Sphaeramia nematoptera)
1x Yellow Watchman Goby (Cryptocentrus cinctus)
1x Blood Red Fire Shrimp (Lysmata debelius)
1x Coco Worm (Protula bispiralis)
1x Tiger Snapping Shrimp (Alpheus bellulus)
1x Tuxedo Urchin (Mespilia globulus)

Is this too much? Would they all coexist?

Yes, but those fish are fairly...static. You could easily replace them with a pair of captive-bred springeri or fridmani dottybacks for some colour and zip. I've had tuxedos as long-term tenants in Evos, so a 16g cube should be fine...if it's mature enough for algal growth.

I agree on static, not much movement.

Ive heard that dottybacks might eat shrimp, is this true?

 

[davidcalgary29]

Possible, but highly unlikely, for these two species: that species of shrimp grows to about two to three times the size of dottybacks.

Thank you! I might try an orchid dottyback than.
