Total stocking is:

2 H Erectus
1 Green Mandarin
2 Harlequin Shrimp
CUC made of red and blue leg herms and assorted snails

Have a Purple Firefish, Firefish, and Blue Spot Watchman in QT. Let's pretend those 3 are already in the system so that my WC's start where they gonna need to be.

As for any concerns about stocking - the second one of these tankmates appears to not fit in, they are out. Tank is for the SH's.

Danke in advance
This is not an easy question since we don't know anything about your filtration or volume. Could you go into more detail about your tank and its filtration. How many gallons is this tank? Do you have a skimmer and what is it rated for? Do you have a refugium or algal scrubber?
