Hello,

I need advice. I have a 14 gallon biocube and want rather need stocking ideas. I would love to have three fish four if possible. Small fish of course. Anyone with a 14 gallon have ideas? Or anyone with fish expertise. I really would appreciate some advice. I'm not ready to stok but trying to get prepared.



Thanks,
monica

that is super tiny. I have lots of very tiny fish in my 215.

I could envision a group of Masked Gobies (imagine them sort of like a freshwater neon tretra but with red stripes instead of neon). They hang out in groups. Kind of different and unexpected.

Or a saddled blenny? They are very small and remind me of miniature hawkfish

Wow that's cool and seems like u had nice moving fish in there. And the bio load u just kept it up with water changes?

I had clown goby, a clown and a fire shrimp in my 14. just stay up on water changes if you keep corals, parameters swing fast in the lil tanks. so consistency helps.

Do u think I can have a fire fish! yellow watchman, Ora mandarin and a black and white clown? They are all small.

too many territorial fish, watchman will guard his hole and that leaves lil room for fire fish to have his own hole to hide. black and white clowns can get mean, and even though it's an Ora mandarin it still need plenty of live rock to pick, they still have instincts to hunt pods. I had a ora target and it still ate off rocks all day.

I think it is too small for the midas blenny. the smaller gobies would be ok.
