1 fire fish or royal gramma or if i can i get both?
so what do you all think?
Well first off... The Mandarin goby is a no, sorry to say. They need a large system with over 100 lbs of LR to give them a food source, mainly copepods. I really wanted one too because they are stunning to look at, but for the well being of the fish, don't try it.
The general rule of thumb is 1 inch of fish per 5 gallons. So you are looking at roughly 5 inches of fish (probably less because I don't think a 24 actually holds 24 gallons of water).
I would say a pair of clowns and a watchman would be fine in there. I would start with adding the clowns and then later add the goby/pistol shimp when the tank is a little more established.
If you really wanted to get one more fish in there, maybe a sixline wrasse or neon goby could sneak in.
But pack that thing full of softies and zoos! Check out some of our members nanos, you can really do a lot in that small space!
Hope this helped. Cheers.
