Hi everyone,
I know it's been a wile since my last post. But,anyway here is my questions. I have a 29 gallon with some live sand and live rock. I only have one fish witch is a 10 inch engineer goby. Could I have a red scorpion leaf fish in the same tank.

i'd say the 10" engineer goby is way more than enuff fish for a 29 gal. i'd say they should be fine together in a large enuff setup.
that said, be aware that leaf scorps in general are nearly impossible to wean onto dead food, and may require live ghost shrimp and guppies for life (they're easily net trained however). also, most red leaf fish tend to fade to a pinkish cream color in captivity. this is the same fish:

the thing is, a leaf single leaf scorp would be perfectly happy in a 10 gal, so you really need to cater to the engineer goby. altho i've never kept one, i hear that peeps recommend 70 or 75 gals as a min, but a 55 is a lot better than a 29.
