Bio-Load

[jocoxvt]

Just wandering if a yellow watchman goby and a clown fish would be pushing the bio-load to much on a 10 gallon tank. Also do cleaner shrimp produce a lot of bio load (probably a dumb question so please forgive me), is it capable to throw him in there as well? Finally, what size cleanup crew would you suggest for a tank of this size?
Thanks

imo that would be fine but its best to have a good firtration. Yes you would be able to put in the shrimp. And for the cleap up crew i would put around 10 blue leged hermit crabs. What i have in my 10 are 2 red hirmit crab that are doing an awsome job. THough u shodent mix the blue and the reds together.

I would avoid Blue Leg Hermits all together, they fight too much. I'd stick with the Zebra or Scarlett Hermits. Your bioload will be fine as long as you have a good protein skimmer and you stay on top of your water changes. I wouldn't suggest adding anymore fish however. I have a friend who runs an Aqua C Remora on his 10 gal, I thought it was a bit overkill (but one can't complain about its performance though).

Your Bio-load should be fine... but you need to watch water perameters very often...as the smaller the tank the more unstable the water conditions will be...
