Need Help Chosing Fish!!

[Trex22seg]

Hi all,
My name is Taylor and as a noob i have been told to be carefull in picking fish. Just some background tank info i have a 29 biocube with drilled over flow and a 20 gallon sump. My tank has been cycled for about 5 months and has been up and running for 6. I have restricted my self to only purchesing soft corals and it has gone well so far. I think i am ready to get some fish. here is a list of some fish i am thinking about.

1.one Clown
2.one Goby, orange spott or yellow prawn
3.one Dwarf angle fish (i know im pushing the limits, correct me if this is over the line)
4.and possibly one fierfish

thanks

That should be fine.

Strawberry basslets are gorgeous IMO

Dwarf angels can be lovely, but be wary in your species selection. For instance, I had a lemonpeel dwarf angel that decided he wanted the whole 65 gallon tank to himself and killed my goby. Flame and Bi-color angels can be hard to get a healthy specimen (i.e. can die shortly after you get one). Pygmy cherub angels are one of my favorites, but they can be a bullies. Currently I have a coral beauty that is a coral nipper, he is keeping my toadstool leather from fully extending its polyps and nipped at the clam that was in there.

I am not trying to dissuade you from a dwarf angel, just make sure you read up about the species you select! Otherwise, your stocking list looks good.

IMO a dwarf angel does not belong in a 29 gallon cube.

I agree, I think the list looks good as long as you replace the dwarf angel.
