Nice tank, but how large is it? With the scale of the fish and the thermometer, it doesn't look large enough to carry two four-inch clown fish and two three inch fish. And you don't want a pistol shrimp, unless you want to hear gunshots in the middle of the night every night, because that's how they got their common name; when they pop their big claw, it sound just like a gunshot.
Also, you need to decide whether you want a fish only with live rock tank or a reef tank. In a reef tank, the corals are the feature, not the fish, and because of the corals' need for low-nutrient water, only a very few fish can be in the tank because of the waste they produce.

Very colorful fish! Stands out well in your tank.

Definitely take Dave's advice!!

The tank is 20 gal. I definetly would like to get some corals in the future but nothing on a major scale. I need to get a clown fish in there for the daughter so I could eliminate the goby and shrimp. 2 clowns and the Gramma would be plenty for this tank ? Pez

Yeah that would be about it..... Nice tank though... Good luck with it...

Tank looks nice. I really like the rock work. Is that rock on the left leaning against the glass? I'm not sure if this is bad or not, just curious.

I had to go check and it was touching the glass I moved just in case probably better that its not touching . Thanks Pez

i had a friend who kept a pistol shrimp in his 30 gallon glass tank and it ended up cracking the glass, which forced him to buy a new tank.


just a word of warning
