fish list!!!

would i be able to have a false percula clown, a royal gramma, and two neon gobies in a 12 gallon? i want the false percula clown and the royal gramma definatley, the neons were just optional. if this would work i definatly wouldnt put them in at the same time. the order of stocking would go as follows...... clownfish......wait a two months.......royal gramma......wait two months.......neon goby.......wait two weeks.......2nd neon goby. any comments would be appreciated. i know that it would be pushing the bioload, but i would add the fish slowly over like 4 months. just curiouse.

That's way too many fish for a 12 Gallon. I would suggest to get only the clown and royal gramma. 4 fish in a tank that small is not a great idea.
cheers

I've seen a lot of people recommend royal grammas for nano tanks, but I had one a long time ago and it was VERY active. I don't think it would have enough space to swim in a nano.
Maybe my particular specimen was weird, though. He was also very aggressive.

I totally agree with you....I had a Royal Gramma and It was also very agressive. As soon as I put him in the tank, he started chasing the other fish and practically claimed the whole tank as his.

thanks, thats what i figured too. i just thought id throw the idea out there. haha. would a royal gramma bother with a clown if the clown is the first fish added?

depends on the fish, and the neon gobies are small aren't they? you should be able to pull that off, I pulled of 3 fish in my 10 gal for a long wihle before upgrading, (firefish, clown, watchman)
