Saltwater 5 gallon?

I'm getting a 5 gallon saltwater fish tank, and dont say saltwater is too small for a 5 gallon cause its not. Im thinking about doing all clown gobys. would that be ok, like i want a yellow-clown goby, green-clown goby, citron- clown goby, panda-clown goby, and a black- clown goby. And about 2 pounds of live rock such as: mushrooms, pylops, and feather dusters.

What do you think about all of that? Is this too many fish, or rocks?

THANKS~~~!

I can't write what I really think about your question for it would be to mean!!! So, Yes a five gallon is too small unless you really know what you are doing. People have them but they have alot of time and experience. You are wanting to put way too many gobys in the tank. Plus you want mushrooms and pylops etc, which all require a great deal of care. If you don't care for the tank all will die. Saltwater tanks require alot of maintenance.

Figure out the water displacement of the rocks and remember to subtract that from the amount of water in your gallon per fish calculation. If the rocks displace a gallon of water, then you only have four gallons in the tank and so should only have four fish.

The thing is, you're going to have a heck of a time maintaining the chemistry of a saltwater tank. You're right that it can be done at five gallons, but the fact that you are asking this question in this venue tells me that you probably don't have a whole lot of aquarium experience - which is not intended as an insult since the only way to get that experience is through experimentation. Just be aware that unless you watch the chemistry VERY closely and control it very carefully, you're probably going to kill your fish. With salt water, the bigger the tank is, the easier it is to maintain. I've seen five gallon saltwater tanks that were gorgeous and long-lived, but they've all been in the hands of very experienced professionals.
