What type...

[Dt524]

Hey all

So I was just wondering what type of sweet fish would look good in mi 29 gallon tank? Can you please give me the species and any experience you would like to share with me.

Thanks in advance

Welcome to AA.

Check this link for 5 pages of fish that would do well in 30 gallons or less.

Personally, I have a pair of clownfish and did have an algae blenny in my tank. I would only add maybe one more small fish, that that would have been it.

I think the following could probably go in a 29 gallon, obviously you should not get them all (maybe like 3 total?) and you would also have to consider compatibility, etc...

Clownfish
Jawfish
Cardinalfish
Royal gramma
Chromis
Bicolor Pseudochromis
Fridmani Pseudochromis
6 line wrasse
Longnose hawkfish

*Maybe* even a Coral Beauty Angelfish or Flame Angelfish.

Good luck with your tank!

I really want a coral beauty and a pair of clownfish so im going to do some research on them and see if their right for my tank. Thanks for the help

The first fish that I purchased for my 40 gallon tank was the Black and White Clownfish, and he is the hardiest, most affectionate, fish I've ever owned. He has great personality and eats anything that I'll feed him. Other good choices would be Chromis, they too are very hardy and eat just bout anything. Look amazing when schooling together.

Live Aquaria http://www.liveaquaria.com/?cm_mmc=Affiliate-_-LinkShare-_-LiveAquaria-_-LA0806-A 120 x 60 Is a great place to research your choices. DT has a great link too! Your current choises are great as well.
You are not planning on cycling your tank with live animals, right?

Lots of choices...some of my favorites are the sixline wrasse, raoyal gramma and purple firefish.

Personally, I do not like seeing Centropyge sp. in anything under a 40g, except perhaps the smallest of pygmies (flamebacks, etc). Here's a Great Barrier Reef theme:

x1 Pair: Amphiprion akindynos (Akindynos Clownfish)
x1: Assessor macneilli (Blue Assessor)
x2: Gobiodon okinawae (Yellow Clown Goby)

Thanks for writing the common names beside the genus. I dont have to spend the next half hour looking up to see what they are. LOL

 

[Innovator]

lol I actually thought about you when I wrote them down Good incentive for those to research XD

2 awesome fish

6 line wrasse...no tank is complete without a 6 line!

Thanks for all the choices. You guys have been a great help! Kudos
I have decided to get a perc. clown, a yellow goby, a firefish, and six line.

I have just traded in my damsel for the perc now I dont know what to go with next?

 

[melosu58]

I`d give it a couple weeks till you get your next fish. Give your clown time to settle in. Yellow Clown goby would be a good one next.
