Fluval 13.5 Stocking

Hello, I am wondering if this stocking list would be appropriate for a Fluval 13.5 - A Goby and Pistol shrimp pair and a Pink streaked wrasse.

Nothing wrong with that list.

You could add a clown goby as well. Green clown goby and yellow clown goby are my favorites

What do you guys think would be a good alternative to the pink-streaked wrasse? I just found out that they don't have a great survivability rate.

A six line

Would a six-line really be fine in a 14 gallon Tank?

I just got one for mine, but im moving that into a 40
It seems fine if you have lots of rockwork for it to swin through

Personally, I would be reluctant to put a six line in such a small tank. IME they are usually very territorial and readily bully many other, even bigger, species. May want to search this forum for other opinions.

Lots of good choices for this size tank.

That's what I was kind of thinking as well. What would you recommend for this size tank?

Firefish would be a good addition to goby/shrimp pair. I would load it up with inverts. I have the above listed, a blue tuxedo urchin, cleaner shrimp and 3 sexy shrimp.

Yeah, a single firefish would provide color and interest as would a shark nosed goby. Both available from ORA. I am a big fan of two spot gobies for their fascinating behaviors but they are hard to find sometimes. And, as mentioned, clown goby would be a great addition.
