Fish ideas for 29 gal?

[zachfishman]

My yellow clown goby is a great resident in my 29g. You'd think it'd hide all the time but it swims all about and has some real personality! Gets along great with my firefish. Don't buy two though, my remaining one bullied the other incessantly - it didn't make it.

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

I don't know if I'd rec the carpet or anthias for a 29g. Carpets can get quite large and Anthias are open water swimmers and would need more space. An RBTA or GBTA would fit fine though, as long as you're not worried about it stinging neighboring coral as it grows.

Cherub angelfish are really cool! So fun watching them swim out and in of rocks.

I really wanted one of those but couldn't risk my beloved zoas.

I am partial to blue reef chromis as well. I think I will be putting one in my 34g.

Is this goby the one that gets along with a particular shrimp?

The real dark blue ones? I like those too but they never seem to last long in my tanks

What about a fang blenny? I have a striped fang blenny in my tank with a dottyback and a tomato clown, and no fights. I think the personality and coloration are quite striking on this fish.

+1 on Royal Gamma and/or Tailspot Blenny (love those fish), small, peacefull, fun to watch - and relatively easy to care for.

I think I'm going to add both of them as see how it goes. I did have a royal gramma when I first started out and he was a little mean, but it seems they are not a problem in most tanks so it's worth a shot. Really excited to get the tailspot blenny, I've had a lawnmower and midas blenny and really enjoyed both.

royal grammas are aggressive, it'll get aggressive again.

One of my favorites and you can pair it with a shrimp.

I had a black cap basset(sp) and I loved it was my favorite fish.
