Hi!
I need some help deciding on some new fish, I have had a mochavinci clown for about a month now and am getting ready to move it to a bigger 25g tank. The tank has been cycling for about two weeks and has plenty of fake plants, rocks, and other decors. The water is in good condition. I want to get more fish in addition to my current clown for the 25g and am currently thinking about getting another mocha clown, a neon goby, and 1-3 pj cardinals. I need opinions on if this combo would work and any other suggestions as I am getting it all setup. Thanks!
 
The additional clown and the neon goby will be fine. With a 25g the clowns may stake out some territory and defend it at the peril of other fish. You could get a sand dwelling goby like a watchman and may be safe to add something like a chalk bass that keeps a ledge or cave to itsself and is not too aggressive. I’ve never had cardinals so I’ll leave that for someone else. I just suggest filling roles with fish and if you get fish that overlap roles, you may have trouble. Roles being cave dweller, percher, sand dweller, open water swimmer, etc.
