How many fish for a Fluval evo 13.5

[Knight420]

Currently I have 1 fish. I wanted to get 1 maybe 2 more. Like a Molly Miller Blenny and/or a Link's Goby .

This is my current fish it is a Court Jester Goby. I named him Spot.

i would skip the blenny and just get another 2 gobys or maybe a goby and pink streak wrasse
blennys get too big for a 10 gallon tank imo

I have the same tank, and like all things reefing... it depends. What kind of fish would you like, where in the water column will they be? Do you have enough rock or another way to remove ammonia and nitrite ? Is there enough space for them to hide? Other various questions

I currently have 5 fish in my fluval, 2 clowns, a midas blenny, a pearl china wrasse, and a mandarin goby. Which is honestly pushing it... But they also occupy different areas of the tank and only crowd each other when I add food. My clowns stay below the overflow, the blenny stays under the return pump in a cave, the wrasse is everywhere, and the goby takes the left half of the tank to himself.

how long have u had the mandarin do you have to constantly dose pods?

Firefish, clown goby, tailspot blenny, neon goby, trimma/eviota gobies, or shrimpgoby + pistol shrimp all make good options.
I would say a combo of 3 of your fish + the above would work.
I personally wouldn’t keep a clown anywhere near a 13.5 (mine wasn’t really a fan of tankmates).

I was also wanting to ask about the mandarin! How's it doing? I'd nixed a mandarin as even possible in my evo without huge pod dumps.

I'm doing more crabs in this tank. I have a ruby matrix. I'm getting a pom pom crab, and a pitho crab will be here on Wednesday. I was looking at the Molly Miller Blenny, and the Link's goby because they are utilitarian. Heck even my little Spot(Court Jester goby) is constantly picking at algae on the rocks and sand.

BIOTA group, has mandarin goby that is tank raised on pellet food. I have links to their page on my original post. My Court Jester Goby came from them and he seems very active and happy.

Btw Court Jester Gobies are hard to care for if wild caught.

I dose pods but more so as a supplement. I got the mandarin from Petco and I made sure it ate mysis before getting it. I've had it since November, so roughly 7 months. It was a tiny little thing when I got it, and its still small but probably doubled in size.

3 max and preferably more like 2! So two more would work especially if they are small.
