29 gallon aquarium stocking

Oh ok thanks I don't see the list though haha

 

[ryn_C_mu]

Just saw a circus goby anybody know about them... beautiful fish though what does it eat?

 

[ryn_C_mu]

Plans may have changed I might be getting a 45 or 40 gallon tank so will a snowflake eel or engineer goby work in that

Heh don't think I linked it. I'll retry when I get to my pc

It depends on the dimension. A 40 breeder would work where a taller tank with smaller footprint would be problematic. I would pick the engineer goby over the snowflake because you won't be able to keep the snowflake with any inverts.

 

[ryn_C_mu]

Awesome but either one of those would work just as long as thee are no inverts with the eel?

 

[Mebbid]

Probably. What are the dimensions of the tank you are getting?

 

[ryn_C_mu]

Uh I don't know it's not tall though it looks like a standard aquarium

 

[ryn_C_mu]

If eels eat shrimp what would be a good clean up crew while the eel is in the tank

you could try an urchin

 

[Mebbid]

You don't really "need" a clean up crew so I would try some out and if they get eaten then try a different type.

 

[ryn_C_mu]

It keeps popping up that skunk AKA cleaner shrimp are left alone but crabs would be unacceptable the other thing I need to ask is what about a golden-head eel would they work in a 40-45 gallon tank they stay small like max is 18inches while the snowflake gets bigger also, are they docile

 

[MJSerik]

I can say from experience that skunks stand absolutely no chance against a snowflake.

 

[bribo12]

I agree a skunk cleaner will be a quick meal as will any other shrimp. Your best bet for cuc with the eel is an urchin or brittle star.

 

[ryn_C_mu]

Those would work for a fish only tank

 

[aquandrew]

Those would work for a fish only tank

there are reef safe urchins and brittle stars, you just have to make sure your frags are glued down or the urchin will carry them away

 

[ryn_C_mu]

Woohoo I just got my first tank!!!!!!! It's a 37 gallon so I must ask the question again haha will an engineer goby or snowflake eel work for that size

What are the dimensions of it?

 

[ryn_C_mu]

Uh 30in long by 12in wide by 22in tall

 

[Mebbid]

Uh 30in long by 12in wide by 22in tall

Sorry, but I would have to say no. That tank has a very small footprint

 

[ryn_C_mu]

It's no wide enough or long enough
