The first list I would cut out two fish, 7 is a lot of bioload for a 29. The second one I would cut out a six line, they will fight. I'd also cut out another fish and just do 4 or 5 fish total. Make sure to add the six line an dottyback last f you decide on them. May want to drop the firefish if you do the dottyback, firefish are shy as heck and would probably get abused.

ok..maybe ill rethink the firefish..i really dont want shy fish!

 

[carey]

I'd also vote to not add the dottyback. I had one in my 29 cube and it had to be moved to my big tank cause of how aggressive he was. I like the firefish though, and since youll have a hood it cant jump.

 

[Evo8]

Ok so. This is what i have.

2 clowns
1sailfin algae blenny
1 six line wrasse
1 royal gramma basslet? Is this guy a suitible alternative to the dotty back?

Also could I throw in a few chromis with the mix?

 

[Evo8]

One more thing..do all these guys eat flake food or dry food?

The clowns, six line and royal gramma should. The blenny may but supplement it with algae sheets. Also feed a variety of flakes, pellets and frozen. I like new life spectrum foods. I'd ask your lfs what they are all eating and at least see the blenny eat. I wouldn't do the chromis, te 5 you listed should be a good bioload.

sounds good! im at least a 2 weeks out from fish! so ill do my research on the blenny..i wish i could get a dwarf lion! lol thats why i like him his coloration reminds me of the lions!

 

[bribo12]

Haha dwarf lions are awesome! You could do one but that would be about it for fish and you couldn't have shrimp or crabs.

Yep! i'd prefer for my first Tank to be diverse and exciting with color! lol
