    make sure your tank can take those 4 fish along with the ones you already have. should be a nice tank when its done though!

    Forgive me, but I just wanted to give you a word of caution. Your yellow tang (I really hope you are able to find it a new home) has already established dominance in your tank. If you add anymore fish to the tank, the yellow is likely to try and beat the crap out of newcomers. I had a very small yellow once in a 75 and he was indeed the boss of the tank. Anything new had to suffer the consequences. If you make the additions you have planned, please be ready to take the tang out if you have to. Otherwise you might end up with some dead or missing chromis.

    Usually when I add any fish, I plan ahead and add the least aggressive first and saving the meaner ones until last. This usually gives the peaceful guys chances to find hiding spots. And yellow tangs can be some of the meanest. My lfs had a yellow that they had to keep moving from tank to tank because he was so mean. They eventually had to have him in his own tank.

    Just my opinion and I am certainly not telling you what to put in your tank, just wanted to add some words of caution.

    I have to agree 100%. I had to get rid of a six line in my 29g because he picked on every other fish Igot since. Also you will probly be really overstocking your tank if you go for as many as you have mentioned. 4-5 fish for a 29g Biocube is about all you want. I have been running with 2 for a month or so now, and I only add 1 at a time with a week to 2 weeks in between.

    i put three in my tank yesterday. i know it wasnt a good decision but i knew the possible consiquences of over doig it with the bioload. so far so good no aggression at all. but i wouldnt add more than 2 fish at a time IMO.
