Hey guys i have a 14g biocube set up for a nano reef. My cycle just finished so I decided to test out the waters with a green chromis and a peppermint shrimp. I drip acclimated them for 1 hour and they see to be fine, but I was wondering if he will be fine solo? I have very limited space obviously so I was hoping to not have to get 3... Do you guys think I should suck it up and just get 3? I was thinking of a final stock would be

1 Purple firefih
1 Green chromis
1 Goby
1 peppermint shrimp
(Couple snails)
And soft corals

Here is a pic of the tank...
(I know it's still a little soon to add the livestock but I really wanted to try it out )
20 lbs of live sand
20 lbs of live rock

Whats the dimensions of your tank? Depending on your water surface to air you dont want to over stock your cube, 3 fish should be fine for your size tank but not 6. Shrimps produce a small bioload rather than fish so id throw a cleaner shrimp in there just for fun. I buy all my fish in pairs just so they can be happy. My very first nano i had a school of green blue chromis. Very cool to watch
