[austin_socal]

Hi everyone,
Can I have somebody review my stocking list and tell me what they think?
Thanks!

1x BSJ
2x storm clownfish
1x six line wrasse (had for a year and very nice to other fish)
1x Yasha Goby
1x Hector Goby
1x Tailspot Blenny

How big is the tank? And what is the BSJ?

The BSJ stands for blue spotted jawfish, and my tank is a 25gal lagoon

Ahh I see. Honestly I'd be a bit worried about the jawfish being aggressive toward the yasha goby. It's possible they'll form their own territories, but in a small tank I feel it's risky especially since yasha gobies are kinda small. Other than that I think that the tank is fine. As a suggestion of a silly unique fish, Biota sells something called a "skilletfish" which is a really cool and unique fish. They also have some captive bred gobies as well. But get what you want ultimately. If you build a good aquascape and provide sufficient territories for the jawfish and goby, you might be able to have it work especially if there is a mesh top.

Awesome, thank you so much for your help man!
That skilletfish is awesome by the way, never seen something like that

IMO, it’s too much for such a small, tank, but if u made it work for a year, I can’t argue with that

 

[Reefing4L]

really depends on your tank size. aggression can be kept in check when you have a lot more room

Add the clowns last who can be territorial

Ok. I already have one clown in the tank bc sadly the other one jumped out before I owned a lid. I was planning on buying all the fish at the same time from the same place and QTing them together. Would that work?

What is a BSJ? And how big of a tank?

A BSJ is a blue spotted jawfish and I have a 25gal lagoon

 

[Tamberav]

Blue spots like lots of sand, Little Rock, cooler waters, and no tank mates unless it’s other BSJ but they want about 2 feet between burrows.

It may be an expensive mistake.

Are these already in the tank?

The BSJ, six line, and 1 clown are

I would go with the 2 clowns, bsj, sixline, and call it good. That is plenty for a tank that size. I would get a bigger tank with more sand surface area if you want multiple sand dwellers.

Maybe a goby for extra cleanup? 2-Goby shrimp pair?

I have a pistol shrimp right now with no goby, so I def want the yasha. Are you saying I should get 2 yashas?

U can, but I would listen to others, one Yasha would be good, but I want others to chime in if 2 would be 2(ha, see what I did there?) much

Thanks lol

If you already have a jawfish, I wouldn’t add a goby. They don’t typically mix well in that size footprint.
