Possible 29g Stocklist

[bjoe23]

so how about this list?
- perc clown
- royal gramma
- sixline
- yellowtailed damsel (put in last)
Any more? any less?
Let me know! Thanks!

I think it's a good list. Curious, why the damsel? If it's because of colors, I believe some damsels lose their color with time though I don't know if it can be slowed. Just fyi.

 

[nygel]

my 29g is as follows (currently, additions soon)
1 Scooter Dragonet
1 Cherub Angel
1 Jawfish
1 Yellow Watchman
I'm waiting for a GOOD clown for it, i'm tired of teh generic looking ones i see all the time, i want one that stands out... but still is cheap... its takin a while

Ya i no i've been reading about that. might not get a damsel

 

[bjoe23]

Took out the damsel any suggestions on what to replwace it with?
here are other fish
- perc clown
- royal gramma
- sixline

 

[nygel]

cant go wrong with a clown.

 

[bjoe23]

ya but wat would u suggest for the last fish?

 

[nygel]

oh, i thought those were ones you wanted, my bad. i love my scooter dragonet, but won't suggest it, cuz i get flamed for doing such, personally i wish i had a Yasha Haze shrimpgoby, awesome looking fish. OH! a pygmy cherub angel, mine is awesome, got it right off this site, perfect fish. some say they nip at corals, but mine never has even looked at one.

You might have problem between 6line and gramma. Both of them mean fishes. When i had my 29g i got gramma and 6line at the same time and next morning 6line had big bite mark on his tail. Grammas think they are 9" and bulletproof fish so you might need to take out one of them later on.
Small flasher or fairy wrasse would be better IMO. If you decide to change 6line to flasher or fairy, Gramma should go in last. Just suggestion

so if i put gramma in last and sixline in first it should be ok?

 

[bluemantr]

if you want to get 6line and gramma i would put 6line before gramma. But you can still have some problems between them in 29g because 29g is small for 2 agrasive fishes.

there not that aggressive

 

[nygel]

they are SOMETIMES not always, really any fish can turn aggresive

Never had a problem with my sixline.....quite the peaceful fish....loved the activity it provided however, always busy around the rock work...
I hear Royal Gramma's can be a terror though.
I am looking at putting a pair of clowns in my 29...and that is about it...nothing else in the way of fish...will be some inverts and corals, but those will probably be the only two fish.
For your stocklist:
Clowns
Shrimp gobies
Randall's Goby
Firefish (personally I like the purple one, but they are a little more expensive)
Clown Goby
Neon Goby
Jawfish (entertaining to watch...unfortunately they are jumpers, make sure you have a lid or some other cover, eggcrate, etc....I lost mine cause it jumped and I had no cover)
Lawnmower Blenny
Longnose Hawkfish (pretty cool)...don't have a swim bladder, so they tend to just swim long enough to find somewhere to perch
Plenty of small guys to choose from...just do some research and make sure they are compatible....
Personally, other than green chromis (because it is cool to see a school of them), I stay away from Damsels. Royal Gramma's are cool, I have never had any experiece with them, but have seen them returned several times at a LFS because they were rather nasty...Good luck...
