    So here's what I'm thinking for my biocube 29 reef...

    1 occ. clown
    1 bangaii cardinal
    1 pink spot goby or YWG
    1 royal gramma or purple fire fish

    What do you guys think as far as YWG vs. pink spot goes? Gramma vs purple fire fish?

    Thanks:)

    YWG because they are smaller but either would do well.
    Purple firefish because I like them more but again either one is fine. I think those 4 is enough fish, I think if you really want a 5th fish make it a small one. Like a citron goby or a neon goby.

    Cool! I guess I'll do this:

    1 occ clown
    1 bangaii cardinal
    1 YWG
    1 purple fire fish

    I think I'll keep it at four for now. If down the line I'm confident enough to add a fifth I think a citron is a good choice.

    Thanks:)

    I would avoid the gramma... it will be a little turd in the tank and get bold and mean, not always but a good chance with the tank size.

    That's hat I was thinking. Since the goby and clown kinda chill close to the rocks the gramma might get territorial.

    Purple fire fish and YWG for sure, a great pair for sure. A Pygmy or possum wrasse for the fifth fish if you a set on one.

    I'm not a huge Pygmy wrasse fan. What about a court jester goby?
