New Fish for My 29 Gallon

[Amoore311]

I finally got those pesky damsels out of my tank. I'm looking for a new inhabitant to go with what I have currently.

So far I have:

1 Sixline Wrasse

1 Yellow Watchman Goby

1 Candycane Pistol Shrimp

1 Skunk Cleaner

Assorted CUC made up of astrea, cerith, nassarius, and turbo snails w/ a handful of scarlet and blue leg hermit crabs.


I really like the look of a flame angel and was wondering if he would make a good tank mate for the others. I realize the risk involved of keeping the angel with coral, I was more or less wondering how he would do with the other inhabitants.


If anyone has a personal preference instead of the Flame Angel toss out some ideas for me. I want an active fish w/ some personality and good coloring.

I have no coral right now but am probably going to house mushrooms and softies only.

I would get a Tailspot Blennie...great personality (or so I'm told) and they look like they're wearing blue lipstick as they have bright blue coloration around their mouths. I have a Purple Firefish which is cool looking. An ocellaris clown (Nemo) is a very nice little fish too.

Love my purple firefish, what about a black & white clown? I really love the contrast of them against corals.

My tank has black sand substrate so a more typically colored orange clown might do the trick for me.


Firefish always intrigued me. But once my tank runs open top I'm afraid of him jumping out. Although I don't plan on keeping anything that would spook him to jump in the first place

A Royal Gramma would be fun!

My tank is topless and (knock on wood) my Firefish hasn't jumped yet. An ocellaris clown against a black substrate would look great!

I think the Flame Angel would be a fine addtion to your tank. I've had one for several years and it doesn't seem to bother anything else in the tank.

Kid, I hate to be critical but is there no way you can put some eggcrate or a glass canopy on your tank? It may be a week or a year from now, but eventually you are very likely to lose a fish.

Why tempt fate?
