other fish for tank

[wilson717]

I need some ideas as what to add to my 29 gal reef tank. I want one or two more fish then I will be done.

I have:
2 perc clowns
3 blue /green chromis
1 pepermint shrimp
1 emerald crab
clean up crew
I am considering: :thinking:
royal gramma
wrasses
What would be other ideas or thoughts on what I can do?
Thanks

those chromis get pretty big... so u might wanna get rid of em if u wanna maximize ur options
but i voted for a royal gramma cuz i had one and it was awesome, great colors, and awesome to watch

I thought the roal was a little mean

 

[wilson717]

I had read that too. That is a concern that I have.

go for a 4line wrasse. if you like the sixline then go with the sixline.

i had a royal with clowns and a firefish... firefish are really peaceful and skittish fish and my gramma got along great with all of them
the meanest he would get was when someone got close to his cave and he would open his mouth really big (cool to watch) he wouldnt bite or attack ever
such a beautiful fish
it all depends on the individual fish

i always thought the wrasses needed a bigger tank... at my lfs there is a sixline in the display and he swims all over the tank

wilson.. are you planning on going reef? what lights do u have?

 

[wilson717]

yes i already have some coral. i have metal halide lights

 

[halo_frk03]

how long has ur tank been setup?
if i were you. i would stick with the fish you have and really start to develop the reef to make it look real nice

i started in july 2006. i have started reef see poto. i have some zoos to attach to LR and will be getting some more coral from my favorite vendor (my brother's web site)

i think with the fish you have now, and the soon to be corals, you probly can't add anything else, i think you should get rid of the chromis, and get a royal gramma

I agree. Alot of people put sixlines in small tanks, but I had one in my 75 and he was all over the place, all the time.

THis is my answer as well. IMO you have more than enough fish, especially if you intend to go reef.

so is mine. maybe cause they're active fish. i had mine for more than a year in my 29g. yea he likes to swim. Ime they do pretty good in small tanks 20-50.specially with low bioload.

 

[wilson717]

thanks for your help

with a 29g small tank ,imo i would'nt keep more than 3 fish. in a reef. when i got my 29gtank i decided to keep a low bioload cause i wanted a reef. so i could keep my water quality at optimun for sps dominated reef.

 

[wilson717]

thanks i think i will get a royal gramma
