Hi everyone,
I am getting some more fish for my 25gal lagoon and wanted to know what you guys thought. I know the rule of thumb is 1in of fish per gallon of water, so I have calculated the max size of each fish in my aquarium and I think I should be good. Let me know if you think the fish won’t be compatible.

1x Black Storm Clown
1x Orange Storm Clown
1x Blue Spot Jawfish
1x Six line wrasse
1x Yasha Goby
Maybe one more nano fish

TIA :)

As someone who had a BSJ in a tank that size I wouldn’t recommend it. That was his entire territory and the sand was useless. My favorite fish but they really should be in a bigger tank if you don’t want the sand destroyed.

Just too small for a six line. They're jerks in a bigger tank, but may be even more so in a smaller tank.
gotcha, wish I could remove him bc he has been a jerk before to my shrimp but he has never really caused an issue and is super nice to the fish, and I need him bc he destroys the flatworms in my tank

Maybe try to sell/trade him locally, or see if your LFS will give you some amount of credit for him.

Is the wrasse the only fish in there now? If he is established, it will likely make adding more fish challenging.

I have a mature pair of clowns and a sixline in a 29 . They do fine together, but I'm not adding anymore fish because of the six line. I tried a file fish and that didn't work, harassed by the sixline.

he is not. I have a black storm clown and a BSJ with him, but I am going to try to sell him to my LFS
