Hey everyone,
I’m planning my restocking on my fluval 13.5. Right now the plan involves a Hi Fin Banded Goby with a shrimp (definite), a pair of clowns (which may not be permanent residence based on their behavior), and some fourth fish.
Previously, I had a clown, royal gramma, firefish, and sharknose goby. They did great together but eventually got velvet (thanks to Petco’s quality livestock) and died. Instead of redoing the stocking exactly, I want to change it up a bit.
The firefish was my favorite fish in my original stocking. However, I also was a huge fan of the royal gramma’s personality, and would totally try it again if the opportunity saw itself.
I am reluctant on the firefish though, as they look very similar to banded gobies, which I fear would cause them to fight over territory. So the final fish in my tank depends on these two questions:
In a fluval 13.5, will a banded goby and firefish fight?
If not, will they live together, in the same hole, pushing the shrimp out?
Thank you!
