I am downsizing from my 90g to a 30 gallon IM AIO. I would like to keep my fish
Anyone see an issue with 2 clowns, banghai cardinal, wheeler goby, bicolor blenny, fire fish in a 30?
The only one I question is my engineer goby that is probably 4 inches.
Do you think its possible to keep him?(probably not smart right?) do you think I need to rehome him? Anyone have experience with these guys in something that small?Im assuming I would eventually need to rehome eventually.
My concern would be kicking up the sand in something that small and creating a lot of bio load
Any success stories? I have been reefing for about 5 years...the 90 got to be too much for me and I think a 30 is more obtainable for me.
I DONT over feed (every other day)

My Engineer Goby went from 1 1/2" to 12" in 4 plus years. I would think not for a 30 gallons

Yea, I think I will have to rehome. Makes me nervous to rehome and making sure I find a good fit, but I have time to look
