I have a 29 gallon tank with LR and LS. I currently have 2 ocellaris clowns, hermits and snails. I am looking to add more fish, I would really like to get a Long-Nosed Hawk and a firefish goby. I have a wet/dry filter and have had no nitrate/nitrite/ammonia problems. Do you think I would have a problem with this extra 2 fish bio load? I thought about getting a pair of firefish, but i might just opt for a single. Any fish suggestions would be very helpful!
Thanks!

keep away from hawk
firefish, royal gramma are fish with good color and dont need lots of swimming room.
two more small fish will put you at max load for healthy tank.
Caution!! its easy to overstock....dont do it
good luck

why do you say to stay away from the hawk? The are friendly as far as i know and just chill on the rock. Should i get one or 2 firefish?

i don't know whats happened to others, but my flame hawkfish has no interest in my 7 adult sized shrimp sharing a 175g. never had a long nose hawk. i am sure the larger they get they may attack some small inverts

I had one once, he jumped out - but i fixed that problem. Long nosed are one of the coolest fish ive had. The sit on the rock, look around, then swoop to another rock. Never picked on inverts - was friendly until the day of his demise.
What do you guys think about just getting one firefish?
I divided my tank into sections, the clowns stay at the top mostly, the long-nosed hawk will hug the rock, and the firefish will go into the rock work and roam out front. Ideally this would be their claimed territory. Whaddya think?
