Hey all,
I want to get another fish for my tank, but i want one that will swim my whole tank and will not hide like a six line wrasse does. i had a six line but it bullied and killed my fish fish and my royal gamma.

I have a 29 gallon FOWLR, with 2 clowns, yellow watchmen goby, blood shrimp, and a cleaner shrimp. What fish would live peacefully with my current fish?

Like i said, i would like a fish that will swim my whole tank, has nice colors, and will not bully any of my current fish. I want it to be like the tanks center of attention.

Thanks guys! :beer:
 
IME the sixlines are non aggressive when they are the last fish in the tank. Mine is a model citizen in my 125. They are one of my favorite fish for personality and movement. Maybe some chromis would work.
 
Mine 6line was the last in my tank, but i killed two of my fish so he was out. I was also thinking chromis. maybe two blue reef.
 
I have a yellow coris wrasse that is very friendly and has a great personality. He swims the whole tank and follows me when I move around the tank.
 
Midas Blenny. Always out in the open, great fish, excellent personality, good color, fun to watch.
 
Christmas wrasse. Extremely colorful. Constantly out and about. Should not pick on anything in the tank. IMo, the most attractive small and active wrasse in the hobby with a very peaceful demeanor.

Very beautiful fish, minimum 50 gallons according to LiveAquaria. I'd agree, I had a Wrasse in a tank just a little smaller, and a same size Wrasse caused nothing but problems.
 
The christmas wrasse is a Fish only, i am planning on getting corals and stuff.

Todd, one of my clown is a ocellaris and i think the other maybe an ocellaris too but the stripe on the middle of the clown doesn't go completely around him it stops in the middle

I would go with this one as well. Not actually a coris though. Halichoeres chrysus

What did you mean by fish fish? I would keep the status quo with the 2 clowns and the goby. JMHO.

agreed, you don't want to test the bioload filtration in a 29g biocube. They're not exactly filled with the best filtration systems around. Overload it and you'll either get an algae nightmare or have to change the water twice a week.
 
Sorry guys i meant to say FIREfish, btw my tank isn't a biocube. i have a emperor 280 HOB filter and two maxi-jet 1200 powerheads, probably 35-40 lbs of liverock and livesand.

I'd say that your kinda already at max capacity. If you only had one clown then I'd say you could get by with adding another small 2-3" fish. But if your dead set on getting another fish I'd go with a small blenny or wrasse.
