chasingcorals17 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I'm constructing a custom 20 gallon tank with an AIO portion to keep everything in one place. Essentially like a Fluval Evo 13.5, just expanded to 20 gallons. Can a 20 gallon long house 5 fish? I am moving over 2 ocellaris and a yellow watchman goby from the 13 gallon and want to add a Royal Gramma and Firefish Goby. I've heard 3 fish per 10 gallons so this should work? I do weekly water changes and feed just enough, nothing heavy. Corals are softies and LPS, with the exception of 3 stylophora colonies which have been doing well. Quote Link to comment
spazizz Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I think the royal gramma is pushing it. The two clowns could get territorial with the other fish, just be prepared for that. It doable with the right fish and aquascape. 3 Quote Link to comment
reefer_evo5 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I tried to do 5 fish in my 20 gallon innovative marine tank and the two clown fish i had bullied one of my cardinal fish to death one day when i was at work and now i have just 4 fish in there two clown fish a neon dotty back and a yellow tail damsel. the clownfish try and catch the yellow tail damsel but the only reason why its still alive is because it is to fast for the clownfish to catch if you can stick to 4 or less fish if possible. 2 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Every time I try to go over 4 fish in my 20 in a few weeks one dies. So I don’t try any more. 3 Quote Link to comment
M51D Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 4 max - shouldn't be an issue as long as they get along Quote Link to comment
Nixperience Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 You need to think about territories. You can definitely have 5 fish, but they need to have specific territories. Think, bottom dweller, cave dwellers, open water swimmer, rock perchers. They can’t all occupy the same spaces. 1 Quote Link to comment
