Fluval evo 13.5 with five fish

[Nanoreefer1999]

I have two oc clownfish, watchmen/pistol shrimp, black blenny, and six line wrasse. Everything seems to be fine with this many fish. I don’t have many corals just pulsing Xenia.

What's your point?

Many people would say it’s overstocking

i had a RS Max Nano with;
- 6 gobies
- 1 Blenny
- 3 Wrasses

That tank was my favourite but now I’ve got a 3’x16”x1’ tank as my nano and I only have 6 fish in it.
My 4’ tank has 13ish fish in it and is purely Softies and LPS.

 

[Mr. Mojo Rising]

it is overstocking and and also a bit cruel IMO, those are swimming fish that can't swim.

Just cause it "works" for you (for now), Its not something that I would suggest to anyone.

Keeping fish successfully means keeping them 5, 6 ,10 years, not just a few months. I hope it works out.

How many gallons is that tank?

The clowns stay in one area most of the time and the wrasse explores the rocks all day. They seem pretty happy to me

I would like to say;
Many of the ‘Nano’ Fish we keep only last 3-5 years at top (Most of them last 1 year if not only a few months).
My first Yasha lasted 3 years and that’s a shocking lifespan as they only usually last 2 years at a max IME.

My old tank was a 20G tank - the Display is only about 15G though.
My current tank is around 25G with the Display being around 20G.

Does anyone know how long pulsing Xenia takes to grow ? I want it to overtake a whole rock

Has to take out the six line. He was taking the fins off my watchmen. Which is my favorite little character. Can’t let that happen. I knew it was 50/50 with a six line wrasse. Took the chance. Non success :/
