    Hey guys, I wanted your opinion on this stock list. Since my tank is still cycling, I don't plan on owning any/all the fish on this list for some time, this is just a plan. I think I chose compatible and friendly fish, but I'm concerned I overstocked a bit. I just get so excited about all these wonderful fish options, its hard to choose.

    1x Ocellaris Clownfish
    1x Tail Spot Blenny
    1x Blue & Gold Blenny
    1x Orange Lined Cardinalfish
    1x Spotted Cardinalfish
    1x Blue/Green Reef Chromis
    1x Yellow Clown Goby

    Too much? Also, do shrimp count towards the bio-load much? Thanks for your time!

    I think that looks fine from a bioload I can not speak much for compatibility since I am newer with these SW guys myself. Someone else will chime in.

    Shrimp do not really count towards the bioload of the tank, niether do small crabs snails corals etc their waste is very minimal compared to a small fish

    IMO get a school of one of the cardinalfish species you picked and get rid of the chromis.
