So I’m well on my way with a Fluval Flex 32. I have had one small Ocellaris for 2 weeks. I will probably begin quarantining some more fish in September and stock the DT in October. Obviously won’t get all at once. Might split into 2 or 3 groups. Here’s what I’m thinking:

1 ocellaris
1 black ice clown
1 blue sapphire damsel
1 blue green chromis
1 royal gamma bassalet
1 watchmen goby
1 lawnmower blenny
Either a flame cardinalfish or a yellow banded possum wrasse.

9 fish in a 32 gallon is really a lot, I would suggest adding them very slowly (a few weeks in between) to give your biofilter time to strengthen up after each addition. Even then you will likely run into territorial aggression issues with that many fish. Safer bet would be 5, maybe 6 fish, I would not try 9.

I’m kind of thinking more of the mix of fish being ok together? Not necessarily going to get them all.
