hey guys, just planning out a stock list for my 30 gallon finnex. i already have a false percula hanging out in my 20 gallon waiting for the 30 to finish cycling. i plan on adding a shrimpgoby after the clown and a mystery wrasse as the 4th fish. i just need some suggestions for a 3rd fish, any recommendations? also, if i were to get a shrimpgoby w/pistol shrimp, will the wrasse eat the pistol? i know mystery wrasses are known for eating shrimp, but i have never heard of them eating pistols, only blood and cleaners. maybe they don't go after the pistols because they can defend themselves, any idea?

nah, thanks for the suggestion though. i would rather have something different, some variety instead of 2 of the same fish. i would definetly get another one if my tank was larger.

I would get a blenny, either a BiColor or a Midas. The mystery wrasse (which should be fine with the pistol) might not like company when swimming in the open parts of the tank.

I have a boat load of gobies in my 12 gallon. They are very communal and are alot of fun to watch. Some of mine are, Circus Goby, Yellow wtchman, orange spotted prawn goby, pinkbar goby. Thay actually all sleep together in the same cave every night in a little group. I dunno, i think gobies are great for smaller sized tanks. I tried the pistol shrimp thing but got rid of mine. I had 7 pom pom crabs in my tank but the pistol tortured and killed 4 of them before i could remove him.

i don't really like the blackcap, but i like Pitcoms idea alot. i think i'm gonna stick with that and buy 2 or 3 gobies since they basically have no bioload.
