Help me choose a good 2nd fish

[wizdawg]

I started my 1st saltwater aquarium about 8 months ago now. It is just a 29 gallon tank with a canister filter. Nothing too special. Just a regular florescent light. I have a few live rocks in it. I bought a clown fish as my 1st fish and still have him and only him. Everything is going good. I am looking to add a 2nd fish, but am unsure what would be a good choice. I don't want to overload the tank since I probably don't maintain it as well as I should. I want something with color.
Any suggestions?

Royal gramma
Yellow watchman goby
purple firefish
sixline wrasse
Any of these would work

Chromis

I would get a lawnmower blenny, mine always stayed near my clown.

Are all types of tangs and angles out of the question for my sized tank? Or are there some smaller ones I could get?

Im not the most knoweldgable but from what Ive read most angels and tangs wouldnt work in that small of a tank. I was reading and for angels, you should "set aside" 20 gallons per angel.

I really would like a tang. I like the shape of them.

A tang, I am afraid, is absolutely not suitable.
A pygmy angel (which is almost a dwarf dwarf angel) perhaps....

i'd say a royal gramma if its color you want, and if you want an angel get a cherub

Flame Angel

flame angels need a 55 gallon tank...

get a pygmy angel. Cool fish.

 

[30-xtra high]

pygmies are just like dwarf... need 55 gallons

I would go with a Scooter Blenny or the 6-line. Both of those are fun fish to watch.

Team2jndd -
It is not just the link that I am deleting. Please don't flame people, it will not be tolerated.

 

[team2jndd]

y delete the link i wasnt flaming. He can keep a pygmy in his tank it says it on this site. I was kidding about the smiley I just think it looks smug.

 

[ophiura]

The tone was unacceptable.
Obviously I believe he can keep this fish. Many may disagree on the tank, they and you have that right on these boards to do so. Had you said "I disagree, I believe you can keep it in this tank size" then you would be fine.

 

[team2jndd]

well cant i just say that now and repost the link?
