Stocking Fluval evo

[JackPinny]

I have a fluval evo 13.5 with a pair of clowns,I have a lot of biological media and was wondering what else I could stock it with. maybe a 6 line or royal gramma ?
Any help is much appreciated

Six line needs more swimming room.

Gramma is a maybe, but clowns can be nasty.

Goby is always a good small tank choice.

I had a tail spot blenny in a nano too. Tons of personality.

I have a pair of clowns and a goby pistol shrimp combo in my 13.5

A 'lot of biological material' is not the point, the point is having enough swimming room and personal territory to avoid aggression and stress.

Ik know, I just said that to say my tank can handle more livestock

Is a yellow watchman an option ?

Even clowns are recommended to have a larger tank. Check liveaquaria.com and drreefsquarantinedfish.com for their recommendation on tank sizes for fish.

I have 2 clowns and a six line in there. Clowns keep to themselves so the six line essentially owns the tank and swims the whole thing. They'll all be moving to a 75g system within the next year. They are currently all juvenile so very small. The tank has plenty of room for the 3 of them. If the six line wasn't an aggressive fish I could probably get away with one more, but 3 is good.

Okay many thanks

Pretty sure it's always an option.

I wouldn't. Mine is a jerk even in a 90g.

Yeah for sure. While I had mine he had plenty of room. Again if you plan on upgrading your system to a larger one then you're okay with 3 to 4 juvenile fish. However, if this is their permanent home I would possibly consider only the clowns as others have said. My fluval will become a ricordea tank with one fish once I move everyone over.

Just make sure the fish are compatible.

Depending on your aquascape as well may determine their compatibility. In a tank as small as the Evo 13.5 I would imagine that territory and hiding spots have a huge play in tankmate aggression.

My evo had 2 clowns, firefish goby, and a pellet trained mandarin that I kept for only a few months (mandarin isn't a good idea btw). I'd stock the royal gramma and MAYBE 1 clown but I'd stick to the gramma

I was gonna get a wrasse but they need more swimming room imo. I didn't wanna stock too heavy
