    This is for a biocube 29 reef with hefty filtration:)....

    1 occelaris clown
    1 royal gramma
    1 bangaii cardinal
    1 pink spot goby
    1 six line wrasse

    I know 5 fish is alot but filtration will be very strong and I will keep to pwc religiously. Plus none of the fish get over 3"... Thanks:)

    I wouldnt put a six-line wrasse in a 29 gallon tank. I kept a very small one in a 20 gallon tank for a couple months. When I tore the tank down I transferred him to my friends 90 gallon. He was alot happier with the space to swim. They can also become very very aggressive to new additions. What is the hefty filtration being used?

    Personally that's just to many fish for a 29g. It's not just about the bio-load. Figure the total actual water volume. Figure in the actual total size of the fish. Figure in the fishes needs and personalities. Just saying it's about what's best for the fishes :)

    Personally I would only do 3...and if it was me I'd go with the clown the gramma and the goby.

    Alright I won't go with the sixline. I'll do four and then if all params are good, a fifth. Thanks for your help:)

    The fifth fish, if there is one, will be a nano fish. Probably a fire fish.
