inhabitants of a 29g

[cimpow137]

Does this fish list sound ok? It's for my 29g soon to be reef tank that is finished with it's cycle but has no fish or corals yet...
-2 percula clowns
-1 green or citron clown goby
-1 bicolor blenny
-2 peppermint shrimp
and various corals..
Please respond whether you think this list is good or if it needs some changes or what ever..

what i have in there already is
-10 astrea snails
-6(but i think im down to 4) Nassarius snails
-1 peppermit shrimp
i bought the tank with this stuff in it. oh and i have round 55 lbs of lr which also came with the tank

 

[krowleey]

that list seems fine to me.

:scared: Just jokin!looks good

 

[cimpow137]

does it matter what order i put the fish in? like should i get the clowns first and let them get a territory or the blenny or the goby? or does it not matter

 

[lionfish28]

hmm...:notsure: Get the goby or blenny first!

 

[cimpow137]

i read somewhere that the blenny is the most territorial so i think i may get him last.. and ive also read that the goby is shy. i think i may get them in this order, goby and other peppermint shrimp, clowns, blenny. or maybe the clowns first i dunno

 

[cimpow137]

anyone?

 

[cimpow137]

?

you cant do as many fish if you add corals you only have four gallons more than me and i was told not to do more than two fish

 

[reefer44]

its fine....add the goby first...wait 2 weeks...add the clownfish and the pepperment shrimp......wait 2 weeks and add the blenny....they are all small fish and the goby doesn't swim very much and the clowns are pretty hardy
are you going to keep and anenome..I wouldn't.....also what is your setup like?
Good Luck

Since reefer already asked about what type of set up..... here's another one to ponder.
what type of coral are you putting in your tank???????
Just asking, considering that all corals are different and have different needs.

 

[cimpow137]

what do you mean by what type of setup? i dont want any big corals in this tank, the bigger ones would be going into my 125g when i get it later on this summer/winter. i want like shrooms, zoos, umm gsp, maybe some xenia but i doubt it, dunno what else... no anenomes though i dont really think they are worth the effort....

 

[cimpow137]

oh and i think i may get 2 cleaner shrimp instead of 2 peps but i already have a pep in my tank and the stores down here wont trade anything in or anything like that... does any one want him and if not what should i do with him?

yea i would go with the cleaners i have one in my tank and eveytime i stick my hand in the tank he trys to clean it. Plus they wont pick at ur corals.
