Would like new fish for 29G

[AdeptMrSniffles]

I love my 29G. However, I hate my "limited" selection of fish that I can keep.

I have 2 false percula clowns, 1 of with is a B***H! I'm kinda picky in the fact that I don't want a blemny or a royal gamma. I was thinking more along the lines of a Pygmy Angel. I'm just scared that my b***h of a clown fish would chase it, like she did 2 other fish (a 6 line wrasse and blue chromis), out of my tank seeing how they really aren't that big. Would it be SUCH a bad idea to put in a sailfin tang? Or how about another clown? I like the gold stripped maroon! I've heard you can put clowns with clowns, depending on the types. I just don't know if they'd be compatible.

OMG you cannot be serious about a sailfin tang in a 29 gallon tank. Yes, that is my official response to that question.

It'd be highly risky to add another type of clown. They'd probably fight to the death.

With a small tank, you are restricted to keeping small fish. There really isn't a way around it. It's a limitation that you have to live with.

:( sorry biff. Thought it was worth a shot with the sail fin. I shall not think again about it :bowdown: I guess I'll just spend my $ on coral.

 

[Bifferwine]

That's right! Just erase that thought from your mind! LOL

Have you thought about some of the cool gobies?

I have a sweetlips in my 29 and a bamboo shark. They get along great with the manta ray. :) Blue jaw fish are small and really cool, also a mandarin would be nice if you have pods going.

 

[BigH55]

Ha ha Biff went reef central on you about the tang.

Firefish are nice and would go good in your tank. I had two in my 29 along with two clowns and they got along great. I wouldn't mix clowns in a tank that small, and maroons are known to be VERY mean.

I have a 29G too and it seems fish become more agressive with each other in smaller tanks. I love my Yellow Clown Goby, it never hides doesn't bother other fish and always swims up to the surface at feeding. He takes flakes from my hand. I have mandarin goby also, he eats Ocean Nutrition pellets and sushi eggs and there are no other big pod eaters in my tank (like Damsels or wrasses).

 

[AdeptMrSniffles]

I'd love to have a mandarin. Although I don't have a pod setup so I would have to feed the little guy. I checked out the blue jawfish. Beautiful fish and it ought to be at $100+. Lol. Maybe I'll research some more go IRS when I get home. It's HOT today so hopefully I'll get off soon. I suppose I should actually be working Instead of on here if I plan on getting off.

You might not like the idea but have you ever thought about a seahorse tank for your 29. I had one for a while. You`d have to get rid of the fish in the tank but they are pretty cool.

 

[yote]

Or just get a bigger tank:D

My thought exactly :)

Mike - I think sea horses are neat for sure. Whenever I upgrade to a larger tank I'm sure I'll turn it into a home for some.

 

[Melosu58]

Here are some of mine from when I had mine. They are very beautiful.

 

[AdeptMrSniffles]

Holy cow. Those are some big sea horses? They freak my mom out. She says she thinks there are peoples souls stuck in them. Lol. She's crazy.
