blebla asked:
I have a yellow tail damsel. can I have a goby or clown fish with him in a 12 gallon aquapod Aquarium? Thanks
my yellowtail is kind of aggresssive. I had two yellowtails and I had to take the smaller one out and put it in my brothers tank because it was getting so beat up.

Yes thoes fish will go very nicely with your damsel. Just be careful that you do not overload your bio filtration by adding too many fish to your tank. I would say no more than 3 small fish and a few inverts max.

definitely a clown fish. They tend to be a little aggressive also. It depends on the type of goby. Some are very mild mannered and will be bullied and some are extremely difficult to feed.
I wouldn’t add more than 1 more fish to a twelve gallon anyway.

i agree about the stocking not being more than the damsel.. but honestly i think the goby would be fine.. a yellow watchman or prawn goby
dont get a sleeper goby or orange spotted.. a pink spot or diamond MIGHT be ok..
i would say no to the clown.. 2 somewhat agressive fish+small space=death
some would even argue that anything smaller than a 20 gallons is too small for a clown anyway

for your tank dude u can keep about 7 nano fish damseld,some gobys,blennys, etc but a 12 gallon u would be surprised what u can keep i have alot of fish in my tank so at least 7 would be good if u have a good amout of live rock would help alot just make sure u dont buy alot at once or u would get a huge ammonia spike like 1 at a time happy fish keeping
