    Hi all

    I have a JBJ 28 gal nanocube. I have about 17 lbs of LR and Sand.

    Right now, I have 2 percula clowns (one of those, I keep forgetting! they all look alike to me) for fish

    Assorted corals as zoa's/Palys, Hammer, duncan, acans, mushrooms and colt.

    Lots of different snails and an emerald crab.


    I am looking to add another fish or two, but I am not sure which is the right direction to go, as to how many more or temperment.

    I am thinking about:
    Royal Gamma
    Randal Goby (maybe Randal Shrimp with it)
    2 Fire Fish

    Of course, I can't get all mentioned above. I am just not sure which assortment is best?

    I vote for the randal and shrimp combo - I've not kept the other fish so I can't help there but I would think you could put about 4-5 smaller type of fish in a 28 gallon.

    thanks for the post! i think so too, in regards to 4-5 in a tank, but I want to make sure who's compatable with the clowns already there too, lol.

    any other opinions?

    I like the shrimp goby combo also. I do not think you will have many problems with the clowns although you never know for sure. The shrimp goby combos are always very entertaining to watch.
