Cool Fish Recomendations

kingkipper · 02/18/2011, 10:04 PM

I have a 29 gal reef tank, with 2 perc. clownfish and a scooter blenny. What else would be cool/ recomended to add? also cool beginner corals?

A purple firefish would be a nice addition. I wouldnt go over 4 in your set-up.

Maybe a Flame Hawk. Not sure if they get too big for a 29gal, but i love mine to death! great fish with a great personality!

has different fish and you can check which fish can fit your tank and see what type you like and see if your lfs has it or can order it for you. get an idea of what you would like from this website thats what i do.

Royal Gramma or a Bi-color Blennie. BTW that Scooter "Blennie" you have is actually a Dragonet (like the more popular Mandarin ) Hope you have penty of pods in that tank...

nothing that will eat 'pods, so no wrasses, dragonets, hectors or rainfords gobies, etc, since they will out-compete the scooter for food. also, IME dwarf angels tend to pick at 'pods as well, and IMO all but cherubs will outgrow the tank anyways.

I'd also stay away from any other perching fish (blennies, small gobies, especially hawkfish since they're so aggressive) because you might run into territory problems with the scooter blenny.

also stay away from aggressive fish with the scooter, they're fairly timid fish.

good choices would be firefish and other dartfish, cardinals, shrimp gobies, jawfish, more peaceful dottybacks (orchid, springers, striped).
