Watchman Goby / Six Line Wrasse Owners!

[jesse!]

Hey, I'm planning on getting a Yellow Watchman Goby and a Six Line Wrasse for my 29g reef and I want to hear some mixed reviews/experiences with them... were else better than the net.

All your posts are much appreciated
Thanks,

sounds good to me, both great fish, what else is in your tank??

 

[jesse!]

Well ATM I only have my one perc but I'm heading up to Calgary, Alberta to get some fish and I was planning on getting another clown for mine, a six line wrasse, a yellow watchman goby, and a royal gamma. dose this sound like it would work together.
Thanks,

They should be fine.

 

[jesse!]

Would they be fine in my 29g though?

 

[bonesnapper]

Uh, that's a lot of fish for a 29, don't get another clown, but get everything else.

I had a six line and a yasha goby. It bullied the hell out of my yasha. I had to take it back. They are known to bully smaller more docile species in tanks.

Well I wanted to forsure get the 2 clowns, yellow watchman goby, and the royal gramma maybe I should find a different fish intead of the wrasse.

those 4 fish in a 29 are fine. They have very little bio load. how much rock do you have? Corals?

ATM I have 30 lbs. of Tonga Liverock and no corals but soon to come. Not sure if it makes a difference but i'm using a 55 gallon canister also.

 

[jesse!]

+ another 20 lbs. im planning for liverock

Your natural and mechanical filtration are fine. Id stick with 4 fish. Let them grow and get established. See how they are and then later on add a 5th. Like I said in your other thread. Keep up with water changes.

Alrighty cool thanks for the tips.

I had a 6 line wrasse and a watchman goby. They seemed fine together with neither of them giving the other any problem. My watchman doesn't seem to like anyone getting too close to him or his hole but the wrasse never bothered him.

Yeah, sixline and gramma. Didn't work out so well for me.

Mine are in my 90 with plenty of room. Six line minds his own business and the goby has a nice cave he rarely goes more that 3 inches from that hole.

Haha thats cool. I'm soon moving to a 55 gallon maybe I should wait then to add the wrasse.
