    You do understand maroons get big right?

    In general stay away from anything with a max size larger than 4".

    You could go with any of the following..

    -Dwarf Angel(only go with one though. Two would cause territorial problems)
    -gobies
    -clingfish/pipefish
    -firefish
    -clowns
    -bennies
    -maybe a smaller wrasse

    Right now I have 5 snails and 1 cleaner shrimp. Could I get another cleaner shrimp?
    Or a pistol shrimp w/ a goby?

    Eh, another cleaner shrimp is iffy because of territorial/aggression issues. A pistol and goby would be cool, though. The pistol fills a totally different niche than a cleaner and can defend itself, while the cleaner would likely just run away.

    I'm glad you decided to tell someone they have enough in their tank. Also, that you posted your stocking list and future plans.

    I have 2 cleaners & have no problems. They like to hang out near each other. I don't have much stock in my 29 though. I don't know if others have had problems. Never had a pistol shrimp.
