well not to discourage you, but maybe consider a smaller fish. If you put perculas instead you could expand into other fish such as basslets, gobies, or even chromis.
I have:
1 royal gramma
1 YT Black Chromis
1 YT Blue Damsel
2 Blue Damsels
1 Green Chromis
I am very happy with my tank, but i am trying to remove the damsels to put in firefish (much nicer)

thanks, BUT im not a big fan of damsels i might just get the pair of gs maroon clowns and let them rule the tank

In my 30g I have
2 maroon clowns
1 lawnmower blenny
1 longnose hawfish
they are living fine with each other and I like that the fish all swim on dfferent levels of the tank, well the hawk just sits on a rock in the middle, but thats ok

trust me i agree with you on the damsels.... only thing is right now they are young and i dont want to ruin their lives (i believe a fish has the right to live until he causes others havoc)

So every crime would have the consequence of the death penalty?

hmm, so you think i can get one more fish in the 29 with the gsm's, like a blenny

 

[bot587]

lol not the death penatly they return to LFS penalty

 

[viper_930]

The return to the LFS penalty is almost as bad. :hilarious

 

[bill33]

i herd only they get mean if you get them a aneome, cause they kill anyone close to it

 

[viper_930]

IME that isn't entirely true for all species of clowns. The less aggressive clowns (such as percs or ocellaris) will cower and hide away from intruders heading for the anemone.

 

[bill33]

what fish would you get of u had a 29g its gonna be a reef

 

[goblue]

my 29 reef is just gettin going, so far its got a potter's angel, which i'm real nervous about keeping, even though i've had great luck with pygmy angels in reefs. I think a cleaner wrasse could be next, and a perc to finish it off. But i guess it depends on what catches my eye at the LFS

 

[bill33]

ahh, ok, i was thinking getting a pair of clowns i dont want anything like nemo i want something different, maybe a goby of some sort
