what should i get

[hunt]

What fish should i get, i have a 29 gallon tank with 2 ocellaris clowns and a valentini puffer, i kind of want something that is a sand sifter, im just not sure wich one to get, if you have any ideas or experiance with cool fish please comment,(side note: How many fish could i have in a 29 gallon tank?)

You can get a jawfish
....(I had to look up compatibility)
ALTHOUGH I do not think I would put much more in that tank...MAYBE...1 more small fish

I wouldn't.....they say minimum tank size 50G....and it would probably starve in a 29G

ok, ive heard good things about a banded sleeper goby(aka bullet goby)

Well the jawfish would fit the tank perfectly....as long as you have a lid, they do jump

 

[hunt]

now (after looking in to these) Im deciding weather to get a pearly jawfish of a black cap jawfish. What do you suggest?

 

[meowzer]

I had a pearly.....I liked it (it died )
Just remember they also can jump.

 

[hunt]

well i think im going to get a pearly jawfish because of price and availibility at my LFS. (Not really worried about jumping, theres really not that much room to get out. I will keep a close eye on it though)

How about a yasa hashi goby and pistol shrimp pair? I know is a late entry but figured hey I can sound like a dumbass everyday and be ok with myself.

 

[hunt]

well i like that but i think that is i were to get a fish shrimp pair thimg i would prabably get a yellow watchman goby and a pistol shrimp(im cheep, the watchman is 20$ the other is 50$)

 

[hunt]

side question but why the heck do those fish and shrimp pair up like that?

 

[anjiro]

Its kind of a best friends rooming thing. The pistol shrimp builds a cave/den for both to live in and while he builds the goby keeps watch. Afterwards they both live in it keeping watch for predators

 

[hunt]

call me impulsive but i went to the store today to get some salt for my tank, and i was looking at the fish and saw a six line wrasse that i just had to have

.
Just finished acclimating him and ill get pics when i turn the lights on in a few hours.

 

[hunt]

here it is. He's a little camera shy, hard to get a good pic(these are the best of like 100)

Just watch out...I have heard some are mean

He really warmed up to the tank fast. its already swimming all around and so far its showing no aggression.
