Hello!

Here is what I have in mind, in addition to basically as many corals as I can afford/fit once the tank is ready:

All fish will be captive bred, trying for more peaceful:

Bonded aptasia eating filefish pair (already have in my smaller tank)
Blue fin watchman goby and shrimp pair (same)
Transparent cave goby (same)
Yellow line or neon goby bonded pair
Smith’s blenny (or two?)
1 or 2 Other blennies (?) OR Trio of azure damsel fish (?)
Trapezia Pocillopora Crab + largish Pocillopora for it
CUC


Besides the extremely charismatic filefish, Gobies are my favorite - am I maxed out? I also want more swimmers so my tank doesn’t look empty of fish at first glance, but worry the three damsels might be too much. What about another blenny - like a black line or harp tail?

Here’s Mrs. Carl the filefish wondering if it’s time to eat. It is not:

Thanks for your advice!
 
Your stocklist is compatible. Various other factors go into whether or not your tank can handle the capacity.

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
