29 gallon stocking ideas

[Joe37]

So my tank has been running for about a month and I currently have 4 astrea snails, 1 nerite snail, 6 blue legged hermits, and 1 scarlet hermit crab.
I have the aquaclear 50 filter and the reef octopus classic 100 hob with about 25 pounds of live rock and 20 pounds of live aragonite sand.

So for the rest of my cleanup I was planning a few nassarius snails, a cleaner shrimp and maybe some more nerite snails.
As far as fish go I have some up with a few options
Option 1:
2 ocellaris clowns
lawnmower blenny
yellow watchman goby/pistol shrimp pair
and maybe a sixline wrasse
Option 2:
2 ocellaris clowns
yellow watchman goby/pistol shrimp pair
purple firefish
Option 3:
2 ocellaris clowns
yellow watchman goby/pistol shrimp pair
Springeri dottyback
Option 4:
2 ocellaris clowns
Harlequin bass
Sixline wrasse

I would go with these off your list:
2 ocellaris clowns
yellow watchman goby/pistol shrimp pair
purple firefish

**sixline can become aggressive in a small space... so be careful

What's your opinion on the springeri dottyback or harlequin bass.
I really like those but don't know much about them

Here's my tank by the way

You could do a species tank, and have one or a pair of Springer's Dottybacks (Pseudochromis springerii), or one or a pair of Harlequin Basslets (Serranus tigrinus). The basslets get to 7in (usually around 4in), are very hardy, and will eat shrimp and smaller fish. The dottybacks get to about 3in, are also very hardy. This is just basic info, more in-depth research is suggested.

Will my cleaner shrimp and peppermint shrimp be fine with the harlequin bass

 

[SecretiveFish]

Will my cleaner shrimp and peppermint shrimp be fine with the harlequin bass

No. I would go with Moray26's suggestion or Genera's suggestion of a Springer's Dottybacks pair as the only fish if you want to keep your shrimp safe.

Well I'm getting my first fish Sunday. I'm planning on getting a YWG/ shrimp pair and a couple of nassarius snails.
