That should be fine. Even in the wild clown fish don't have a huge territory. |

Yup, that combo should be no problem as long as it's the only 2 fish. If you're hoping for more, you may run into territorial problems, as the clowns may get pretty aggressive.

Lose the scooter blenny and you'll be alright. I don't think a tank that small would sustain the dietary needs of that fish. But the goby and 2 clowns should do fine, and the inverts shouldnt be a concern. |
