    I have a 29gal with 2 O. Clowns and a Red Firefish. I also added the firefish last. It was a little shy at feedings first but now stands up for itself and is out and about front and center all day long. Granted I also have weird clowns that like to spend their days cruising in and out of the rock work instead of the open areas. I also agree with everyone else, get the CUC first and then look at a fish.

    In my old 29, I was able to keep 2 black O clowns and I keep a Red Lippy blenny and coral beauty (got lucky he wasnt a coral nipper) all at the same time and everything was peachy. I did have bad luck with the Firefish. But thats was just my tank

    I like the firefish idea. Currently I have a firefish and two O. Clowns also (just got the clowns last night). The firefish is fun to watch and will be a mellow part of your tank and add some different color.

    EDIT - Also, the firefish will most likely stick to the bottom area of the tank while the clowns will peruse (from my current observations and reading other threads)
