Fish ideas for 29 gal?

[detroit_fan]

I need a couple more occupants for my 29 gal tank. I currently have a purple firefish and a single b&w clown with her anemone. Any ideas for some peaceful inhabitants?

Bangi cardinals, any jawfish, the coolest would be a goby and pistal shrimp pair!! Also Catalina gobys are sweat, and tail spot blenny.

thanks for the suggestions endlessblue. after doing some reading on the tail spot blenny it looks like a great tankmate.

Tailspot would be a nice peaceful addition, but watch out for the LTA, while M. doreensis aren't normally known to be fish eaters, but, with the size of your tank I would be careful when you release any fish.

I love royal grammas, I am running a 34g right now and having one of those is a necessity for me.

The best inhabitants for you nano are, carpet anemone, one air of clown picasso, anthias, one angel pigmy... nice combination...

If you are going to post in this thread, please make them helpful posts, and not like these two.

A "carpet" (( would be nice if you stated the type )), anemone will easily get over 24 inches across.

The tail spot is not just a great looking fish, they find tiny caves and hide in them with only their head popping out. They hide in corals and always look out to see you. Their behavior is by far the the best feature and thats saying a lot bc they are gorgeous. I just might get one more now.

Also don't forget about mandarin gobys depending on your supply of pods.

I don't think they will survive in a 29 gallon tank, esp. a new one...I have a 92 gallon that is 8 years old, and I likely have barely enough pods...as it is, I think someone killed my mandarin...haven't seen him now in over 5 days...argh!

Purple fire fish are a good one.

Tank is 3 years old and hooked up to a 100 gallon sump and another 125 gallon tank, but I your right, they need lots of pods.

Purple fire fish are a good one.

Already have one in the tank, but it is a good fish, just hides a lot on my tank.
