Quick Fish Stocking Question?

[didz04]

Hi

I have a shallow tank 24" x 16" x 13" high.

Are these fish suitable if not then let me know, and its not all at once.

bumblebee goby
knight goby pair
long nose loach
green spotted puffer
figure 8 puffer
Desert goby

??

Thanks

You could keep the bumblebee goby with the desert goby but could not keep them with either puffer, nor could you keep them with the knight gobies as they will eat the bumblebee goby, not sure about the loach but I'm pretty sure that it will be fine with them, although it may be a little bit big for the tank ( they can get to be12" long).

don't know about loaches but if it tolerates brackish then I'd guess it would be on the lower scale so less than SG1.005 @ 25degC aal of the other fish with the exception of the GSP do well at this specific gravity but the Knights may eat the Bumblebees. GSP's do best over SG1.012 @ 25 DegC and many keep them in marine conditions.

I haven't worked out the volume of your tank so can't help with stocking.

the long nose loach aka horse faced loach i have in brackish myself, 1.003sg and its fine.
I have it with a knight goby and a mean orange chromide as well. As long as you have sand or fine gravel for it to burrow into, it can avoid most harrasment.

bumblebee gobies can do ok with figure 8 puffers but niether of the gobies.

green spotted puffer needs different requirements than the rest of the fish.

you can do at 1.003 sg
long nose loach, desert goby, knight goby, figure 8 puffer(but watch out some are nice some are not, kinda a gamble)

or figure 8 puffer and bubble bee gobies at 1.003sg

or at 1.010 sg you can do green spotted puffer and knight goby.

or do saltwater with green spotted puffer.

i hope this helps.
