[gtstylez87]

i have a 29 gallon with blue damsel, percula, royal gramma, spotted hawk, buddha cardinal, mated pair of coral banded shrimp, and a cleaner shrimp. i also have 2 rock anemones, gps, chili coral, and 2 atlantic sun anemones. i got room for one more fish and i wanted to put in a butterfly but i dont know what type i should put in?

29 gallons is abit small for any butterfly i'm afraid.

Agreed. OP has sufficient fish already for that sized tank.

I agree with what's been said. Might I also suggest removing the damsel, and replacing it with a mate for the clown? Much more interesting behavior to watch.

There is no butterfly you would want to put in a tank of that size.

ok thanks guys i am not to familiar with butterflies. i cant get a mate for the clown because he has been in there for 2 years and any clown i put in there he would kill. i was thinking about a pygmy angel. i like fish for the atlantic more than fish from the pacific

Actually, old clowns are usually easier to pair up, since it's already established as dominant. Just add a tiny one to it.

Anyways, argis are neat angels, but aggressive.
