I dont' think I can mix a royal gramma and pseudochromis . I am pretty sure thats a nono . Thanks anyway.

I have a 29 gal tank with live rock and live sand . I just recently bought a purple pseudochromis and I am looking for at least 2 other fish that would be compatible with this fish, small enough for my tank and a nice color contrast. I really like bright color.
