Is my fluval 13.5 overstocked?

[Jasc]

So my fluval 13.5 has 4 fish.
1x clownfish
1x Royal Gramma
1x Cleaner Goby
1xCitron Goby

I am not adding any more fish. Will rehome if needed no signs of aggression from any fish.

If there’s no fights and nutrients remain stable, not overstocked.

Just a normal clown? Unless it is a maroon or something you are good!

I would think so

I started my old 13.5 with 2 clowns and an orchard dottyback and all was fine.

Just had to watch po4 as it was hovering .02 and a tad lower at times.

How long have the fish been all together?

Early days, as they all start maturing they can totally change personality, I had a Royal Gramma, same size tank as yours, was all fine for a few months, then turned bad over night.

I might rehome the gramma for a fire fish if I see aggression

It wasn’t so much as aggression, the RG just seemed to go mad one day, it would swim into the clowns corner, not move, the clowns would try and flick it away, they would gave up after a while, the gramma stopped eating, not a nice experience to watch it all happen.

So yes, keep a close eye, if you see a change in behaviour you need to take action as soon as you think it’s necessary.

My clownfish is pretty aggressive towards my hand it jumped out and snapped me. So I'm pretty sure if he feels threatened, he will not go easy.
