A Clown And A Goby In A 14 Gallon Is It Possible

[bae1994]

as in title would it be possible to have a single clown and a small goby in there or a clown and a shrimp goby pair in there

if so what goby
and what shrimp if any

 

[ben1987]

very possible. Some people will tell you its too small for adult clowns though. But i dont see why not. Mine dont venture too far away from their spot. Once they grow up you probably wouldnt be able to keep anything else in there

 

[bae1994]

ooh so theyde be ok in ther for life if i can get a anemone that will live under 2x18watt compacts id have one for em i know they dont need it but hey

Pair of clowns would be pushing it, a Anemone that will host clowns is a big no IMO. Even a BTA wouldn't work. You can try corals that have a similar look to anemones and the clowns might host them.

 

[bae1994]

yeah alrite just a idea what type of coral would you suggest

Most Euphyllia species, possibly Xenia, some have reported luck with brain corals and corals in the Fungiidae family. Its kind of a hit or miss but the corals that I listed should be able to survive under your lighting.

 

[bae1994]

yeah kept xnia in it before and thrived so will go with that

I had a pair of clowns in a 10gal saltwater, no anemone, and both lived for a good two years.

Clowns take 2 + yrs to reach maturity, they should live a hell of a lot longer than that.

 

[bae1994]

or could i have like 1 clown and a smally goby or 1 clown and some shrimp

 

[bae1994]

bump for new question

 

[ben1987]

theres some clowns near 25 years old in captivity

 

[xxBarneyxx]

I would say 1 clown, 1 small goby and a cleaner shrimp would be fine.

 

[Musho3210]

yep, i think the recorded record is 27, or is it 32, one of those things.

I say, have a mating pair of gobies in the tank and try out breeding them.

 

[youngfisher]

Yeahhh, try breeding gobies!
Thats a pritty cool idea.
