I just read the F8 article in the Library (again), and PufferPunk keeps hers with a dragon in her 29 gallon, which is probably closer to the size of mine anyway, and she also has mollies with hers. If mines somewhere between 20-30 gallons, probably closer to 28, and this is temporary anyway, I dont see why it wouldnt work...

I've kept F8s & DGs together for years. Not in a 20g though.

Well, would a pair of 1 1/2 inch F8s and a 6 inch dragon goby work temporarily in a 20 gallon? It would just be as long as it takes to save up some allowance or track down a tank on craigslist or something (I'm a senior in high school without a job, but I'll track one down).

What is the smallest size tank that would still reasonably and quite comfortably house an adult pair of F8s and an adult dragon? 50 gallon?

And I'm sorry if my questions are really stupid, I'm starting to find out that I'm not as smart as I thought, but I'm doing the best I can to learn. :)
