stocking list?

im having an issue coming up with a list for livestock to plan my tank out. so far i have a yt damsel and 5 blue legs. i want a mandorin goby and a pair of clowns. i want some sort of shrimp, and some heads of zoa at some point i was not sure what my options are for a 40gal or less setup. i know my lionfish has to wait until i have a bigger tank.

 

The clowns would be fine, and so is the damsel. The mandrin goby need a lot of pods to stay alive so your tank will need to be mature enough to support it

 

im glad i asked i was under the impression the mandorins ate alge and bacteria in the sand i had no idea they ate pods lol

 

Some have been "Trained" to eat prepared foods, but i think that it is still rare. Do a little research and maybe you can get one later depending on your tank size and pod population.
