Nuvo 40 Stocking List

[sundog101]

My IM nuvo 40 is finally starting to come together. Currently I have a Valentini puffer and clownfish pair. Here's my fish plan, just wanted to make sure all looks good.

Valentini puffer
Clownfish pair
Royal gramma
Pistol shrimp/goby pair
Mandarin ( I know too small but with a brine shrimp feeder and worms I keep one in my biocube without a problem.)

My only concern would be the mandarin and goby. Has anyone kept them together in a smaller tank? Would there be any aggression issues? Thanks for the help!

Hey sundog101! My favorite is Royal gramma!)) Oh you are planning to have beautiful fishes! Which one your favorite?;)

Thanks! Although not completely reed safe, I really like the Valentini puffer.

The mandarin and the goby will be perfectly fine together.

The issue that I foresee is that the puffer may nip at the dorsal fin and filament of the mandarin.
