Stocking ideas for a 29 gallon biocube???

eveningstar15 · 08/31/2013, 11:11 AM

I have a coralife 29 gallon biocube. Coralife protein skimmer, heater, 20lbs base rock, 10lbs live rock, 2" live sb, intank media basket with filter floss, purigen, chemi pure elite. Right now I have 5 astrea snails, 5 dwarf ceriths, 5 dwarf blue legged crabs, and a porcelain crab. As for fish I have a yellow rose goby/candy stripe pistol shrimp and a yellow clown goby. I am wanting to get another small fish (max size 2in). I want something that is active and not going to hide all the time. Anyone have any suggestions?? In the future I would like to add 2 false clowns. Are clowns more aggressive if there is two of them. Would that be too many fish? Would it be better to just get one false clown??

Clowns do tend to be more aggressive as a pair, very much so when they lay eggs. Make them your last addition and buy a small pair and they will get along better with their tankmates. As for other fish, any of the flasher wrasses would be great o a royal gramma although they are a little more shy.
