29g tank additions

[emmylou]

What do you think of adding 2 false percs (aquacultured), a bicolor blenny and some peppermint shrimp to an empty 29g tank. I still have some snails and crabs but no fish since my last one died a month ago.
Tank has been set up for over a year now - no ammonia, no nitrites, 10-30 ppm nitrates.
Questions is, should I add more than one peppermint shrimp and go with the 3 pack combo on this site or will 3 be too crowded in a 29g with ~40lbs live rock.
With the choice of a bicolor blenny or a 6-line wrasse, which would you choose. I'm thinking of the blenny since it will stay at the bottom while the clowns are swimming all over.

First thing I'd add to an empty tank is some water.........LOL.........sorry, couldn't resist!

does anyone have an idea if 3 pep. shrimp is too much for a 29g FOWLR?

I think two would be better, personally. And I agree with you, the blenny would be what I would choose. They are fun to watch too.

i agree with melody, go with three peps.
No more fish in the tank than what you planned.
I too have a 29 gal. All i have at the moment is a true perc. I am going to be getting a wheelers watchman goby to pair with my pistol shrimp, then finally i will get a flame hawkfish.

I would go with 2 peps and a cleaner shrimp. I like pep's but the one I have I rarely ever see. My cleaner shrimp on the other hand makes sure I see him all the time!

Thanks for the replies- I think I will go with 3 shrimp and the bicolor blenny.
