its not really "how many fish" as it is "how many inches"
your tank is kinda small for a saltwater, but that doesnt mean you cant have a blast with it. If i were you, id prolly go for just a pair of perc clowns, with a few nice hunks of live rock. Clowns are playful and fun.
If you do go for a pair of clowns, try and get em so that one is a bigger fatter one, and on is skinnier.
IMO cant go wrong with some small clowns.

you can get more fish than just 2 clowns. with a 29 you could probably put in 8-10 inches worth of fish. that would add up to about 3 fish, depending on their size. also as you get more experienced you can go a little more, say up to 12 inches. id recommend a blennie, a goby, and a clown if you want one. there are some dwarf angels which can go in a 29. you could get one of those instead of the clown.

yeah, a lot depends on the type of filtration that you plan on using. 3 smaller fish wouldnt be too bad, i guess. I always like to play it on the safer side though.
If you can get a hardy one, with the right lighting, a pair of clowns and an anemone can be very attractive in my humble opinion.
If i were to have a 29 gallon, thats exactly what i would do.

Well, this guy does not guarantee anything except that they will be alive when you take them out the door!! He won't give you any money back especially if there is something wrong with your water etc. He has cut me a deal many times when it has nothing to do on my end if that makes sense. He owns a place out on Colerain Ave. called "wetpets." His name is Nick and he's kind of a crusty old guy, but he really knows his stuff. I bought my tank and complete setup from him, and I only buy my fish from him as well. I can give you my email if you would like anymore information.

His prices are ok--he has some really big fish which many places do not tend to have. There is also another place very close to his called Aquatics and Exotics but I have not been in there. He says it is pretty reputable as well. Let me know what you think!!

Hey I have been going to wetpets for years. The guy is great. (Though he did sell me a seaclone )
I like the tank he has in the frount with the big clam in it.
Say I think all of us Cinci people should meet their this weekend to talk. What do ya think?
Oh as for the store down the street from them. IMO i will never buy anything from them. They try to talk down every one else and charge way to much. $150 for a small brain coral.

Hey spook--what part of cinci are you in?
Gotta love Nick--he's a bit crabby, but he's been very good to me. I only have a 75g FO tank, but it's been very easy to handle with Nick's help. I was just there last week buying a new sailfin tang, so I've had my Nick quota for the week!!
