What would be the minimum tank size for 2 flame angelfish, 1 mandarin dragonet, 1 twinspot goby, hermit crabs, snails and shrimp..?
 
Because of the 2 flame angels, 75-100gal. Because of them copled with the mandarin dragonet, I would say 75-120gal. I wouldnt go lower than that with the dragonet because it needs the larger volume to upkeep its specific food requirements. As always with marine aquariums, bigger is always better.

Hmm what would be min tanksize for a single Signigobius biocellatus ???
 
I'd say 30 to fifty on it's own, with a deep sand bed. However I have seen these guys at 5 and 6 inches thus implying the need for a larger system.

On the lighter side your selections are distinct and cool.
 
For one 6'' fish 50 gallons of water? LOL

Marine really ain't like FW..
 
I keep two flames and a glodstrip in a 40gal long for 3 years. A 45gal tall would be sweet.

WHAAAAA?:confused::nilly:


the biggest one of them i've ever seen was like 2 inches... i thought they stayed like that?

i have a goldhead sleeper goby in a 29, hes about 4 inches right now. honestly if it's the only goby (the twin spots do better in pairs BTW) and there's enough sand, cause that species is a filter-er, i think they'd be fine in smaller tanks
