Talking nano fish questions..

Im pretty new to saltwater fish tanks and was wondering, is it okay to have 2 clownfish, a royal gamma, and a jewel damsel in a 29 gallon tank? if not can you please refer some good fish groups that are lively and colorful? thanks!

The jewel damsel are aggressive will get too big for a 29 gallon tank. FYI - the Jewel damsel may look pretty as juvenile but will turn brown as they mature.

What about a Possum Wrasse or a Blue Dot Jawfish?

I would ditch the Damsel, FTDelta is right, they'll get too big and are mean fish.

+1 on ditching the damsel. Jaw fish would be nice but keep in mind they have special requirements and they tend to be a more shy fish. I'd look at blennies or smaller reef safe wrasse.

Pink -Streaked Wrasse is a nice fish to add.

Jewel damsels get really large too - about 6or 7" and extremely aggressive. It will kill off every other fish in the tank.
