Need your opinion...

Well after a lot of thinking I think I've made a list for my 29 gallon:
Fish
true percula clown
starry blenny
firefish
yellow watchman goby
mandarin or scooter blenny (in due time, but just keeping that open for when I start my fuge)

Corals
Kenya Tree
Devil's finger leather coral
zoas (different kinds of course, any specific ones?)
button polyps (also, any colorful ones out there?)
THE INDESTRUCTIBLE GREEN STAR POLYPS!!! XD
red mushrooms
yellow fiji leather coral
blue mushrooms or red tip tree coral
maybe some duncans

Inverts
blood red fire shrimp
serpent star
CUC with lots of hermits

How's this?

 

YOu sure you want alot of zoas?button polyps? ABUCNHA soft coral?

I think they get boring honestly, thankfully i have a cuzin who deters me away from softies. I really like LPS coral, you can feed them which make them grow 10x faster and stuff...And also alot more colors too.

and you dont need a cleaner shrimp..They are not giong to bother with any of those fish.

Purple firefish is what i have, they are cool..Red is just cheaper.

 

OK..... can i get opinions that ARE NOT discouraging?

 

You might want a bit stronger of a clean up crew, and I dont think you need a cleaner shrimp either.

I like the purple firefish too, but make sure your lid is secure, mine jumped through the tiniest hole

I am someone who really likes zoas, they are almost indestructible, and you can get a big variety of colors, and they grow fairly quick so you can trade them in at the LFS, when you get the inkling for something new or different.

 

I would only do one firefish you need a 48" tank to have a good chance of them not turning on each other. Scooter blenny would be better because they are much more likely to eat prepared and frozen food. You are right on too many fish. The clowns may kill off the other fish if they become a breeding pair. They may stake out the whole tank as safe territory for their young.

Might have issues with the shrimps.

 

whats the big deal with the cleaner? I just want to have him geez.... :-/

 

o wow I didn't think I had that much lol. What would be the problem with the shrimp? and as for the firefish yeah i was thinking 1 eventually because a pair did seem like too much. Well also there are only 5 fish so I didn't think that'd be so bad...

 

Well, it's just that cleaner shrimp won't actually clean ich off of fish (which is the reason people put them into tanks so often, only to be disappointed), and they're very messy in terms of waste. 3 of them in a BC is asking for trouble. I would pick 2 of the shrimp, but only if you're willing to have quite a bit of rock (50# or so) in the tank, with plenty of places for them to be away from each other, and enough food for them to not be too hungry. Otherwise, pick 1.

That said, cleaners are going to be the most outgoing of the shrimp you listed, with the peppermint second, and the blood third. The blood will pretty much stay in the rockwork all day.

 

I know they don't pick ick off of fish... well yeah i was thinking eventually that that would be too much but i find that kind of weird since my lfs keeps like 2-3 cleaners in a 20 gallon; i believe 2 are cleaners and 1 is a blood red fire shrimp

 

Well I must suck at picking fish and inverts XD I'm surprised no one said anything about the corals. so ima edit my list now
