[brokendeck]

hello everyone
i have a question. i have a 29 gallon tank set up in my bedroom and i wanted to add one more fish to it. the only fish thats in this tank is a Blue Devil Damsel. whats my choices as far as one fish i could add to the tank with damsel? its a reef tank so it has to be reefsafe. thanks

WOW...there are a lot of things you could add....a chalk basslet, zebra goby, etc etc etc LOL
blennies

 

[hunt]

Royal Gramma, six line wrass, clownfish, a ton of gobies.

 

[mrdc]

Two or 3 Naso Tangs!!

Just kidding ... but you do have a lot of choices and can start by looking at the fishes already suggested.

alrighty well how many fish could i add to the tank? if 2 more then i will need something that will go well with a devil damsel and the other 2 need to get along with each other as well.

I recommend a Bi-color blenny, and I would imagine you could have at-least 4 good sized fish. My buddy who has a 29 has a chalk bass, clown, purple fire fish and a small damsel.

In my 29G I have a chalk basslet, citron goby and a zebra goby...I am planning on adding one more fish too.....I had a canary blennie, but it jumped
I also have some crabs and lots of snails...

Add another damsel and let them fight to the death

These fish should be sold with a warning label attached! *Caution should be used when purchasing this fish as it will decide what you may or may not place in your tank, including, but not limited to, human hands*
BiColor Blenny or a Tail Spot Blenny would be my choice on blennies. If picked on, these guys can hold their own, but really shouldn't cause any aggression. ONLY ONE BLENNY PER TANK, especially in a 29G.
You could try a pair of clownfish, the should be able to hold up against a damsel as well, since they're from the same family.
If you're getting a blenny, I'd shy away from a hawkfish.
Here's the stocklist I'd do (just an idea, by all means, you don't have to do this)
Your evil damsel (really, you should get rid of this guy)
2 clownfish
1 BiColor or Tail Spot Blenny
1 Goby (Diamond goby would be an excellent sand sifter for this size tank, OR Yellow Watchmen, just because they are fun little fish)
1 Chalk Basslet, Royal Gramma, or something similar if you can get the damsel out

Nice choices!

The bi color still remains one of the best fish I ever had based on personality. My midas blenny must be part tang because all he does is swim back and forth in the open water like a tang.
