    lol ^^^ i like my clowns. im a bit overstocked imo but heres what i have. 2 chomis, 2 clowns, firefish. its a lot of fun because they are all colorful fish to watch and no aggression yet, yet.

    i agree mated pair of picasso's

    and/or one or 3 bg chromis... I had 3 in my 20H they were great... schooled around all the time, they are in my 40br now and still doin good don't mess around like damsels, don't really take up "territory" like other fish do...

    i would say a purple firefish otherwise... or some kind of watchman goby, I have a yellow watchman and he's tight.

    i was thinking of adding a green chromi, a yellowtail damsel, a royal gramma and a sixline wrasse. Would this be to many fish in a 29gal. I read that 4 - 6 fish is good in that size tank. I have a real good clean up crew in there. I could just add two of the above also......no big deal. I found that these fish are pretty good for beginners and nanos? Any thoughts

    i would love to get a flame angel, but they are on the more expensive side. I tried putting a coral beauty in the tank, he was beautiful but he quickly died?????? And i was out 40 bucks. Plus i felt like he didnt have enough room in my tank, I have a lot of rock!

    I agree with the angelfish. I've had a couple of flame angels in my 29gal tank. One died mysteriously after 6 months and the other I gave to a friend. They seem easier to care for than some other angels. I've had a ton of problems trying to keep Potters angels.

    you couldnt keep the potters because it is the hardest to care for out of all the dwarf angels.
