Fish for a Biocube 29

[wabooth555]

I have a Biocube 29. I currently have a blue damsel and a false purcula clownfish.

I want to add the following fish and want to know your thoughts:

1. Six Line Wrasse
2. Yellow Clown Goby
3. Sgt Major Damsel
4. Firefish Goby

Thanks
Wayne

Based on numbers
1. Can be agressive and very actve feeders. You already have two potentially agressive fish so can probably hold its own.
2. Non agressive and small. May have trouble competing for food and getting picked on.
3. One damsel to many and they hay kind of big for a biocube.
4. Skitish and would become overstressed with the more agressive fish. Will probably end up jumping into the overflow of out of an opening.

You should have damsels in a much larger tank. As they mature, aggression could follow. Most people dont beleive this. But after seeing a damsel attack a octopus on a documentary I very much believe in this.

Also, 6 fish is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too many fish for a biocube 29.

And it can also be expected for a sixline to have aggression issues also.

I really want some colorful small fish. How about this total stocking:

1. False Percula
2. Yellow Clown Goby
3. Firefish
4. Banggia Cardinal
5. Six Line

Looks good to me. Even though I've never had problems with a 6 Line in my 29g BC, def put him in last like you have listed.

Way too many fish for a 29. 5 max if your doing corals and inverts or expect trouble.
