I have a 14g nano cube with a CUC and a fairly aggressive maroon clown.
I wasn’t planning on adding any other fish due to the clowns aggression. Long story short he was at the LFS I work at for 8 months, killed 2 other maroons before getting buddy privileges revoked and would bite any finger that came into his tank. I got him home in a tank I set up just for him and now he’s a wuss that hides behind the power head.
My nitrates are bottoming out so I’ve been thinking about possibly trying another fish and was leaning towards a goby because they would occupy completely different areas in the tank and if the maroon decided to go after it, it would at least be able to go into its cave to get away.
I keep seeing shrimp gobies Watchmans and Yashas on lists of nano tank fish but then in their description it recommends 30 gallons so I don’t know what I should do.
This tank wouldn’t be their forever home, I have a planned upgrade In the future but it would be a few years so I want it to be sufficient.
My tank also doesn’t have a lid and I don’t particularly want to add one so I’m not sure if they would be the right fit.
Opinions on adding them or alternative options greatly appreciated!
