25 gallon lagoon fish stocking

[jquiggs28]

Hey! So I have a 25gallon im lagoon ( not a Aio)
Currently have two clowns ( maybe bonded )
Two dragonets

Trying to see what other fish would work for my tank

I’m looking at cardinals
Smaller angelfish ( I have a 50 gallon I can move her to once she’s too big )

Open to other ideas

Please ignore my ghetto lid I have a new one coming

royal gramma, fire fish, tailspot or midas blenny, or shrimp/goby pair would do well in that size

A clown goby would be awesome. Huge personalities.

Even with two other gobies currently??

How many more fish you think I could add before it being too much

Very different type of goby. They perch on the glass and are very interactive.

Dragonets are not in the goby family (Gobiidae), nor even in the same taxonomic order (Callionymiformes) as gobies (Gobiiformes).

I should’ve specified ones that would eat through my pod population for my sized tank

5 fish for that size tank, 6 is possible if stocked right, but it will be a high bioload so have good filtration and keep an eye on the water nutrients, do more water changes.

There's not enough pod production in a tank that size to feed one dragonet, let alone two, so I'm not sure more competition is going to make a huge difference.

As for number of fish, that depends on the species. I think the clown goby is a good suggestion (though they're not always the hardiest of fish) , and putting six of them in there wouldn't amount to much in the way of bioload or space usage. I don't think even one royal gramma is a good idea, from the POV of possible antagonistic behavior. They do like an area of personal space that a 25g might barely accommodate, but they can get pretty ****y when other fish get in their space.

I don't think a dwarf angel is a great idea. They're pretty active regardless of whether they're a younger animal or an adult, and the smallest species are the most punchy.

That's a small tank. Think nano fish.

with 2 dragonets and 2 clowns already I’d pick one that i listed, any more and you’ll have a big bioload like @Mr. Mojo Rising said. if you want to get “the most” go with the shrimp/goby pair
