Hello, I am just wondering if this would be a good stock list for a 40 gallon breeder. The order of fish from top to bottom would be my stocking order. The tank has a fairly good skimmer on it as well. Obviously I would be adding fish over a longish period of time so the bacterial colonies have time to grow with increasing fish mass. I think 7 fish would be fine? They are not generally big fish, the midas can get 6 inches long but he is skinny so maybe that mitigates it a bit? I have concerns a little bit with the last few fish because they can be aggressive from what I have read but I hope adding them later helps with that? Curious what you guys think!
Fish
1. Pink-Streaked Wrasse
2. Golden Midas Blenny
3. Royal Gramma
4. Flame Hawkfish
5. Banggai Cardinalfish (x3)
CuC
1. Blue Leg Hermit
2. Nassarius Snails
3. Trochus Snails
4. Cerith Snails
EDIT: I think I may need to remove 1 of the Cardinal Fish if 2 of them form a pair right? I would just keep my stocking level at 6 fish if that happens.
