I really need help with stocking my 12 gallon nano cube. Could this work? 1 firefish, 1 percula or false percula clownfish, 1 watchman goby or simliar bottem dwelling gody, 4 nassarius snails and a cleaner shrimp? If this doesn't work, please give me a nice alternative that includes a firefish. Thanks.

I have a 12 gallon Nano-Cube! If you don't want to run into problems later, then less fish is better. If this is going to be fish only with live rock, then you could get two of the fish you metioned, if you want the firefish, then you should get the goby becuase the are both more timid the the perc. If you want a reef, then only get one of those fish. The inverts sound good. Hope I helped. smile.gif

Yes, that helped a lot!! Ok, what about a firefish and a watchman goby? Those guys are so cute!!! Anc 4 nassarius snails and a cleaner shrimp. I would like some mushrooms too. Would that be ok? I want about 12 lbs of live rock, if it will fit. How many lbs of live sand should I get? About 20? I haven't bought the tank yet, just planning ahead. Of course I'll cycle it first. biggrin.gif

The watchman goby, and the firefish are both gobies. They are known to fight some times.

Id say only 1 fish for now, if you dont want to run into any problems.
I have only 1 firefish in a 25g

They are very fast fish.

This is what I'm going to do. I'm going to set up the tank with live rock and sand. Again, how many lbs of that do I need? After the cycling, I will add 1 firefish goby and some nassarius snails. If I see that it's doing good, say in a month, I may add a false percula clown. I've talked with some experienced marine aquarists and they have said that the set-up would be fine. They even told me that if I keep up with the weekly or bi-monthly water changes that I could put in a small blennie or goby. I may not push it that far. I may just add a cleaner shrimp.

would recomend only two fish. You could get as much as 20 pounds live rock but 12 to 16 looks the best I think, I have 16 pounds. I have 30 pounds live sand but it dosn't look that great you should get 20 pounds Arag-Alive, or figi live sand from liveaquaria.com Otherwise everything sounds good. do you have the deluxe or the original?
