Fish stock ideas? please help

[polancoeddie1]

Just wanted to see if I can add a couple of fishes that get along... I have 1 clownfish 1 gold head goby. Planning on adding 1 midas blenny and 1 fire fish.. its a 29g biocube with live sand, 25lb of live rocks. is 4 fishes I might go with 5 or is that too much?

While I don't think 4 fish would be too many, I do think a 29 biocube is too small for a Midas Blenny. I would advise looking into a smaller member of the Ecsenius genus, such as a Tailspot Blenny.

+1 on tailspot blenny. midas blenny likes to nip fins.

clownfish (ocellaris?)
gold head goby ( they get bigger than 5") i would get royal gramma instead
firefish
tailspot blenny
4 fish for long term care. but if you want 5, look for pygmy wrasse or possum wrasse.

Yeah its a ocellaris clownfish. The gold head goby was sold to me by my lfs. He said its perfect for a 29g biocube. I guess not.. to take him out will be the biggest pain in the a**. He hides under the rocks.

I would only add something like a royal gramma or firefish.maybe even a pair of clown gobies.
