    I've been stocking my 29g Biocube HQI for a few weeks, have all but two of my corals all in place as well as a 6line wrasse. I am planning on adding two clowns to the tank but I was curious on what you all thought about also adding a algae blenny.

    If I did this my stocking list would be -
    6line Wrasse
    Percula Clown x2
    Algae Blenny
    Couple different zoas/mushrooms
    Hammer Coral
    Frogspawn
    Hairy Mushroom
    Toadstool
    Lion Tail Cucumber
    Coral Banded Shrimp
    Tiger Brittle Starfish
    6-8 Hermits
    6 Ceriths

    Is this to much for a 29?

    How big is the sixline? You might have trouble adding any fish if it's bigger than an inch. The algae blenny also could starve in a tank that small if well kept.

    The sixline is only an inch and a quarter if that much.

    This. They are are not nano fish due to how big they get, and they can be very difficult to get feeding in the first place. Mine never ate any prepared foods and ended up starving in my 55 :cry:

    Instead, a Tailspot Blenny or similar would be much more appropriate due to their size and ease of eating prepared foods.

    No problem! Glad you asked instead of making a potential mistake :)

    possum and pink streak wrasse are similar to the sixline, but not as active or agressive, and more invert safe.

    While I agree with you, the sixline is already in the tank :-/

    6-line wrasse need a fish to keep them in check so they dont become overly dominate. That is when the real invert feasting begins....

    So I should add the two clowns as soon as possible?
