You really can only do one goby/blenny in a 29. I'm looking at a Canary Blenny, a couple pipefish, and maybe pseudo (Hopefully a Splendid, if I can find one) with my clown pair.

I said OR tho, yeah only one blenny, I will be getting the twospot if I can find one in local stores (if I order other fish online I will get one from LA), if I dont order online or cant find one, I will get a lawnmower.

the non schooling gobies I was planning to do a clown goby (either a yellow, or a black barred convict) and if I use gobies for the school then only ones that can live in groups AKA trimma, eviota, Elacatinus (either pair of neons, or trio of green banded gobies.

and I think I may do a trio of the pipes, most likely in my fuge. are they really hard to care for? also, how big do they get. I do know they all dont get the same size by the way

Do some reading on the clown gobies. If I'm not mistaken, I read that sometimes they munch on coral? It might have been SPS, but shocking none the less...

okay, I have decided on stocking. I will also be adding a 15g frag tank, along w/ the 29g display and the 20g fuge. here is the FISH stocking, many inverts will be included as well.
1 yellow fin fairy wrasse
1 mandarin (added after tank has been set up for awhile)
2-4 small gobies
1-2 percula clowns

will this be okay? will teritory be an issue?

the list is just a well,list of fish I am thinking about getting. I sort of have a 49 gallon tank, because their will be a 20 gallon sump/fuge hooked up to the display tank. I plan to have the bio load of a 49 gallon, with many small, non teritorial fish. Think of it as a 49 gallon tank w/ the dimensions of a 29 gallon tank.

That's not really correct. It is good to have the 20 gallons to increase water volume. It does very good things. However, when you are stocking your tank, you only have a 29 gallon tank. The fish might appreciate the benefits of an extra 20 gallons (cleaner water), but the are still all swimming in the space of a 29 gallon tank. When stocking, it is as more about swimming room and space from other fish than water volume.

I think your list looks good and you seem to be on the right track.
