    So I had one of the big shot salt water guys over to my place today. He mentioned I need to get a "Show" fish and maybe some chromis for action in my tank.


    I already have:
    2 Clowns
    1 Wrasse
    1 Royal Gramma
    1 Bangi Cardinal


    He recommend adding:
    5 Blue Chromis
    1 Flame Angel (Drawf Angel)



    Any ideas? I really don't want to over do it but he was certain it would work in my tank with how my rocks are setup.

    Not the chromis. They are really only suited to bigger tanks. Especially in that amount.
    What kind of wrasse? I'd be afraid that it would fight with the Angel.

    I have a Bangai Cardinal in my 29 gallon as well. Big mistake. Don't get me wrong, it is a beautiful fish, but it is so boring! It literally just sits in one spot all day. I would probably take it to my LFS, but I would feel really bad :/

    get you a Unicorn Tang they are awesome...lol

    I have to say no to more fish. You have a sump tho I think. Maybe that will help if you just have to have one more.
