In theory. I'd probably drop the gobies or one goby and firefish, though.
Is it too many fish?
I’d be happy with
2 clowns, royal gramma, coral beauty, fire fish and banggai cardinal.
Thanks for your reply!

You don’t think it’s too crowded? Another person said it to take 2 off the list

Nope, looks just about right.
I always try and think about what portion of the tank each fish will occupy and go from there.
That smart! But it is an AIO so when I calculated display tank volume it’s about 36.5 gallons lol. Would that make a different? Thanks

The only super active fish you listed is the coral beauty, the others pretty much keep to there own zones. Just make sure you have lots of safe zones and hiding spots.

Thank you for your answer! I appreciate it!
Hey last question lol. Let’s say worst case I decide on getting a waterbox 35.2.
Pair clowns, royal gramma, fire fish, and yellow watchman would be okay? I would run a tunze 9004 skimmer and bi weekly water changes! Thanks I’m advance!

Wow thanks! You make it seem like I can add more fish to my current waterbox 20! If my wife doesn’t want me to upgrade you think I can get away with adding yellow watchman goby and maybe a firefish?
The only problem is the royal gramma has been in the tank already.
cube 20 has pair clowns and royal gramma. Thanks and this would be the last question lol!

I have a WB 20 cube as well and I have a firefish a possum wrasse and two clowns In my situation I won’t add anymore but if I did it would be a fish that hangs out on the sandbed, making sure first that it would get along with the firefish who is very timid.
Good luck and enjoy whatever tank you end up with!
