Hey guys, I was trying to think of another fish to get for my biocube, but was thinking about possibly getting a pair of clown gobies, or a jawfish and a clown goby. Would 4 fish be overloading my tank?
 
 
I have two occ clowns already,
 
 
Thanks

I think you'd be fine. Those are all pretty small fish. You have a fuge right? Just watch how much you feed. IMO that's a bigger problem in a small tank then four fish.

Yeah, I've only been feeding how much they eat in ~5 mins once a day right now for two clowns, plus my mithrax crab eats like 2x more than my fish do, that thing is a pig

Oh yeah those emeralds will eat and eat and eat. I had one that was the size of a silver dollar. HUGE.

I actually only feed my fish every three days. They are fat and happy. My veggie lovers will actually graze all day long that way and the fuge provides enough food that the meat eaters never get skinner either. I find it amazing how a tank can sustain it's self like that.

Its borderline IMO, but if you can keep your nitrates down, keep up on your water changes,  and dont over feed then I think youll be fine.
