Reef fish

[cody3819]

Want some help on selecting fish for a 29G reef tank. Thanks for the ideas.

 

[Genera]

Another idea thread huh, I like these for some reason. I don't know why. Well here you go.

•Pair of Assessor Macneill's, Yellow, or Randall's Assessor (Assessor macneilli, A. flavissimus, or A. randalli)
•One of Canary, Green Canary, Bundoon, White, Striped, Forktail, Harptail, Blackline, Kamohara, or other Blenny from the genus Meiacanthus (Meiacanthus oualanensis, M. tongaensis, M. bundoon, M. smithii, M. grammistes, M. nigrolineatus, M. atrodorsalis, M. mossambicus, M. nigrolineatus, M. kamoharai, or Meiacanthus sp.)
•Pair of Ocellaris clowns, I'd personally get a Black Ice Snowflake, and a Black Snowflake (Amphiprion ocellaris)
•Bottom dwelling blenny from the genus Ecsenius (example of an open water swimmer- Ecsenius midas, Midas Blenny. And a bottom dweller- Ecsenius bicolor, Bicolor Blenny)
•Pair of Banggai Cardinalfish (Pterapogon kauderni)
•Tangaroa Goby and Red Banded Pistol Shrimp pair (Ctenogobiops tangaroai and Alpheus randalli)
•Goby from the genus Stonogobiops and Red Banded Pistol Shrimp pair (Stonogobiops sp. and Alpheus randalli)
•Pair of Scarlet Cleaner Shrimp (Lysmata amboinensis)

Wow, thanks so much! I'm new to the hobby so thanks! I have a Bangii Cardinal and a clown. So I'm looking for something that is not to hard. And I'm going for a reef tank. So my fish I want to choose wise. Thanks again.

2 Occ Clowns
Yellow Assessor
Purple Firefish
Tailspot Blenny
Possum Wrasse (Tanaka's)
Sharknose Goby

Reef fish

A pair of ocellaris clowns would look great

I personally like the normal
firefish

A royal gramma for more color

And one bottom feeding blenny
(Either a colorful one like Bicolor or helpful on like Lawnmower)

Add a pair of of fire or cleaner shrimp and perfect.

Thanks you guys for all the info.

2 clowns for sure...they are fun to watch.
I agree with the royal gramma...great fish but needs a more dominant neighbor
I have a cherub angel, by far the coolest fish I have and keeps the gramma in check, but I'd look at the potters angel if I were you...very beautiful.

That's it though I wouldn't run more than 4 fish in that sized tank.

Thanks Jammy

A pair of bangai cardinalfish and a group of purple firefish. These are both some of my favourite fish and they look great!

Thanks I have one bamgaii already. My wife wants diversity. And being that I'm going for more of a reef tank I'm waying my options.
