40 gallon tank with skimmer + 15 gallon fuge

2 clarkii's
1 watchman goby
1 fire goby
1 lawnmower blenny


- I wanted to get one more yellow jawfish. Am I okay with that? The clarkii would be the biggest, the others are small/medium size.

I am no salty but I go with swimming room and water perimeters if your fish are not bumping into each other and your water levels are fine I would go for it so many stocking guidelines are flawed you can check out my thread I believe it's called "stocking guidelines"
 
I wouldn't say so, what are your parameters? A lot will come down to feeding and the waste produced by the fish.
 
Im going u could add it.. with out being close to overstocking.. those are all small fish their bio loads are slim as well

I honestly don't even account bio-load at all. Lol if it doesn't look crowded, it's not, at least for me.

That's how I am... belive it or not the most over stocked tank I've ever seen was in ace venturea pet detective..
