you most definitely won't lol...
keep it in the 8gallon.. I'm sure a group would always display at each other...that's what they're for anyway. haha.
Heres what Im going to do I think.
2 picasso clowns,1 rainfords goby, 1 hi fin red banded goby, 1 yashia goby, 1 hectors goby, 1 sixline.
2 sexy shrimp, 1 pistol shrimp, 4 blue legged stripe hermits, 4 red legged hermits, and some sort of decorative crabs
also, CORALS GALORE!
thats all
now thats gonna look great man, cant wait to see it all set up, with corals, a BTA, did i get that right?, for the clowns, with the goby's and wrasse just toolin around, it should look awesome
now daggumit, how come everyone tells me no crabs in a reef tank and now ur doin em? LOL whats up with that? i want some dwarf blue legs and some electric blues in mine
whoaaaaaaaa hold up a second, u mean they'll host frogspawns? i mean, i know one person on here posted that her clowns hosted her frogspawn, but i just thought that it was like, a uber rare event or something? hmmmmmmmmmmmm looks like i need to be doin some more research LOL
yeah, its alot of fish, but Im not going to be doing it all at once, and Im sure it will be a while before I come across a few of them. I'll probably tone it done, loose a few fish, but those are definately the ones Im choosing from...
Clowns will host anything. Even a powerhead. Any soft coral usually will do
now that is some really good news, cause i knew there was no way i could do a anemone right from the start with no experience, and was a lil worried, i mean, everyone says they're fine without one, but it just doesnt seem right for them not to have something, u know?

you can definitely do hermit crabs, I just get tired of losing snails to them so I don't do hermits anymore.
I dont have snails, crabs only
I have a few hitchiker stomellas (i think they're called), but they dont have a shell for my crabs to steal. Its all on preference. They're clumsy too, but I like them more than boring snails. Although I have a huge mexican turbo Im going to stick in here when I break my frag tank down.
I may drop the six line altogether. Too many ppl having trouble with them being aggressive to their other fish. I think it may be gobies and a clown pair only.
I wouldn't mix multiple firefish in a small tank unless it was a single species pair.. adults are pretty intolerant of each other except for their mate.

ok. then a diamond goby instead of the red firefish
nooo.... lol.. I won't even attempt a true sleepr goby in a 24gallon tank unless the sandbed was 2 years old...they'll starve very easily with a new sandbed. I wouldn't get the rainford's or hector's until at least 4 months in and that's if your sand is out of previously running tank.... if its all out of a bag... wait at least 8 months.
its ls already. The tank was set up for about a year. Hmph, I guess Ill just see what I find. I probably wont even stick to a stock list. Just get them as I go.
