    I have a 60g tank with a 20g fuge and 80lbs LR and 75lbs LS. I currently have a melanurus wrasse and this will be a reef tank.

    What I was thinking
    1x Melanurus Wrasse
    1x Mandarin Dragonet
    2x Kaudern's Cardinals
    1x Royal Gramma
    2x Percula Clownfish
    1x Two Spot Goby

    What are your opinions/suggestions on this stocking?

    That could work, the wrasse will compete with the mandarin for pods.

    It looks fine to me! Good luck with the tank man.

    I agree with 2in10 though, about the Mandarin and Wrasse.

    Ya I would only add the mandarin if my fuge can keep up with the wrasse, if he is eating all the pods then I wont get it.

    I think you should get one or the other, because if you only have one of them, then the one that you have will be very healthy and get all of the pods to itself. I wanted to get a Sixline but I have a Mandarin, so I skipped on the Sixline.

    If there aren't enough pods to keep a mandarin healthy then I won't get it...if there are enough pods then I will get it
