29 gallon tank

[thenamshow]

what is the most amount of fish you can have in this tank?

 

[jam1e]

depends on what kind of fish you put in .. what did you have in mind?

The general rule is a 1/2" per gallon. With that figured, you could put in roughly 15 inches of fish. But I wouldn't get anything too too big.

 

[jam1e]

what? .. so you're saying you can put one 15" fish in a 29 gallon .. no .. or two 7.5" fish .. no ..

 

[salty sam]

As I said, nothing too too big. By that I mean you can put (7) 2" fish or (5) 3" fish.

 

[jam1e]

point taken but you it's still a bit of a shaky rule to follow .. anyway .. what kind of fish did you have in mind namshow?

 

[thenamshow]

well i already have one clown, diamond goby, lawnmower blenny, and 2 three stripes

 

[jam1e]

well . if you add any more fish I would suggest something like a goby or firefish that doesn't produce much of a bioload

I just got a new fish, its a bicolor something, its a nice small fish. he seems to be doing fine

[dragracer]

Ok. I am not trying to be a jerk here. I just gtta ask.......why did you buy a fish and not know its name, I've seen this alot, and never asked but now I gotta.

 

[thenamshow]

I would say harlequin sweetlips, (I dont know if I'm inside on the joke but this gets about the same size as the ones you listed.)

 

[reefreak]

Its a Royal Gramma.
Is this it?

 

[thenamshow]

yes that is it the picture at least, thats not its name, i had a whole page up of other names it is called...and my sister exited out of it

 

[petjunkie]

I would stop adding fish at this point, seeing as your clown depending on type will get 3 inches, your goby gets 6'', blenny 5", two damsels=8", and gramma adds 3", which comes out to 25" of fish in a 29 gallon tank. I have three fish in my 33 gallon, a maroon, gramma, pygmy angelfish which equals 11 inches and I was planning on one more 3" fish but I have 65 pounds of live rock in the tank and do weekly water changes. What kind of filtration do you have on this tank because unless it's really good you might want to consider returning the damsels, that would cut down your bioload to a better level and they may turn out too aggressive for your tank.

i have a cascade 1000 canister filter, and a seaclone skimmer, i have been thinking about getting rid of the damsels
