Can this fit in a nano cube 24 gallon valentini puffer, 1 neon goby, 1 royal gramma, 1 jaw fish, 2 cinnamon cl

Question

own fish 2 flame scallops and a sea erchin 2 inch live rock coral. any other advice

Answer 1

no, the minimum for any of these fish is 30 gallons all those in a tank barely over 20, you are looking for disaster.

Answer 2

no they all need min. 30gal.

Answer 3

ANSWER is YES!

everyone will 'fit' but perhaps with behavior issues

....so the 2 cinnamon clowns are the most likely to be hyper-territorial and probably get along if they were raised together

...jaw fish is excellent

"....unless it bites the puffer"

....puffer is at least semi-territorial, and may buck up with cinnamon clowns, (in the smaller tank)

unless in a 6' tank

...neon gobies are perfect choices

...royal gramma is probably the least likey of the group, it needs more space, due to it's carnivorous appetite the 24 is too small, the gramma will bite everything at least if not out- right eat the scallops, goby, jawfish, etc.

...sounds like an exciting tank full of vigorous energy and vibrant color

...you have a creative plan for sure

QUESTION

.....i have one really huge concern: "is this your first saltwater set-up?"

....a small tank, like a 24 gallon Nano, is one big accident ready to occur

....the small amount of water leads to very rapid chem shifts, and unless you know exactly how to manage those, you are risking a better than 75% chance of loosing a lot of excellent creative time as well as some bucks too

...consider a freshwater set-up instead, in a 24gallon

...by the way, the Nano is an awesome tank!

..and yeah, i know you posted that you already own some scallops, an urchin and live coral

FINALLY,

...so shoot me! ok? maybe you are very well experienced and confident of all marine routines, and are reay to go!

Answer 4

puffers should never be with coral.  Actuallu, the puffer and cinnamon clownfish should no be housed together.  I think that if you leave out the puffer and the 2 clowns you would be okay.  Are you running any kind of skimmer?  If not, you must, must, must, keep your bioload very light.
