Hey guys! I have been going back and forth on stocking my tank and I wanted your thoughts, advice and ultimate suggestions.

First of the tank. It’s a Waterbox 70.2. Display is 24x24x22 (give or take a smidge) so first things first. I have a pair of clowns, a lawnmower blenny and a pistol shrimp. They gotta stay. I love all four of em.

I want PJ cardinals. I was told that as long as I had a swim through large enough 4-6 could fit with the current stock. True? If not suggestions on how many I could safely and comfortably house? I know they won’t be all over the tank and I’m ok with that.

I’d like a yellow watchman goby for the pistol shrimp. She’s fine without one, no problem. But I’d really like to have one. Would he be able to fit with the current stocking and the cardinals? Since he would most likely be under the rock work, and the LM blenny likes the barnacle and rocks, they shouldn’t cause issues with each other, correct?

That’s really it. If those wouldn’t fit, suggestions for replacements? I want a schooler. And cardinals I’ve always loved. Plus I learned they are mouthbrooders and I adore poofy cheeks lol.
 
Banghai cardinals have more appeal as do Firefish gobies
 
I have 2 PJ's & they are on one side of my tank for a cpl days & the other side after that so they do move around & they don't stay small but are not fast growers either.
 
Your stocking list is fine and it will all work. No issues.
