Yellow Coris Wrasse in 14 biocube?

[Ravic5]

HI.

I've been out of the hobby for a few years and recently got a used 14 gal biocube for my 2.5 yr old.

I currently have a clown, cleaner sheimp, some type of polyps, and snails/hermits.

I went to lfs and they said a yellow coris wrasse would be okay in this small but it seems they require larger.

Would I be okay getting a small one for a 3-4 yrs or skip it?

Other suggestions?
I was considering firefish or possibly a royal gramma.

I also plan on emerald crab If that seems ok.

Thoughts?

Thanks

I think you are pretty full with the clown.

Hmmm... I was looking at a biocube site and it seemed 2 fish was a good safe amount.

Are you concerned about the 1st fish being a clown? Or any 2 fish in general?

Thanks

The yellow coris wrasse requires at least a 50 gallon tank according to a very reputable site.

Also like she said, with a 14 gallon tank you're about fully stocked with even your single clown.

Instead of a Wrasse there are quite a few Gobies or Blennies that would work well with he Clownfish. A couple Neon Gobies, a couple Clown Gobies, Barnacle Blenny, etc. Small docile fish that tend to just hang out. An Antenna Goby with a Tiger Pistol Shrimp is very entertaining and would work with what you have.

Firefish tend to jump in small tanks but could work. Royal Gramm is also possiblebut both of those fish are high energy. That just makes it a little more difficult in a small system vs a sedentary fish.

Thank you, I imagined it was too small because of what different sites say are the minium size is, but lfs said otherwise but I know better than to just take one person's word for it
