Hi all!
I've been on this 55 gallon Mandarin build for a while now. Finances and time have been limiting the progress, sigh. The information you all have shared on this form has been invaluable. Thank you!!

So I'm going to be adding livestock soon, i hope. Ideally, the second and third fish in would be a blue-spotted jawfish and a Dracula goby candy stripe pistol shrimp pair. 6 to 12 months later I would be adding the Mandarin. So my questions- are there going to be compatibility problems with these fish? It doesn't look like either will overly burden the Pod Supply. Am I wrong about that? Are there particular challenges in keeping either the Jawfish or Dracula goby? They're both kind of pricey so I'd hate to be investing in a bad plan.
Thanks!!
 
Blue spot jaws come from cooler waters, so die much, much early when kept in tropical temps.
 
That's a good thought. Thank you! This tank is really centered on the Mandarin fish so it might be more what things do well it's 76-77 degrees.
 
Get a tiger, pearly head, or dusky jawfish instead. They do fine at those temps.
