yasha pistol with a semi aggressive clown a bad idea?

[nathan212178]

I have a pair of clownfish, with one being bigger than the other, I do see the smaller one having nipped fins from time to time but its nothing extreme. I did see that my lfs will have a pistol/yasha goby pair in stock but not sure if its a good idea to keep them in the same tank, its a 20G AIO red sea and has been running for a long time. i thought it would be a good idea since the pistol and goby will be on the bottom portion of the tank hidden from the open water clowns but again, not sure if its a good idea to keep them in the same tank. I dont see anything online about it so im not sure.

Sounds risky to me if the clown is already aggressive. What kind of clowns?

Nope not yet, sadly it didn’t make it when I came in to pick it up, I’m planning on upgrading and plan on stocking it with both again. I’ll come back and tell you how it goes when I do

My semi aggressive female clown paid no attention to the yasha, just the firefish and fairy wrasse. Maybe that would be different if it was only the clowns and yasha, but I think the yasha stands a good chance since they hang out in caves.
