Hi guys, I’m nearing the end of my QT for my clowns - following Jays QT protocol on here. I’m in the process of planning the next livestock to put into QT. I was wondering if the following would work:
1 fire fish, 1 Royal gramma and 1 yellow watchman goby in a 13.5 gal QT tank. It would have multiple PVC structures for hiding and QT safe sand for the goby. Is this too much livestock for that QT tank?

Sorry if this is the wrong sub forum to post this in!

Thanks!

Place gramma last who can be territorial. These are small enough but provide them hiding and added aeration with air stone

If all small going in at the same time, should be fine.

Since the tank just went through a Q cycle, your biofilter should be solid, those fish should be fine together bless the gramma is large. Be sure the tank has a cover on it though.
