    A sump would help with the oxygen and filtration problem. You just have to find six fish that will do well together.;)

    I might try to add a small clown goby soon after the six line.

    I think i can do it;) i plan on a flasher wrasse after the goby (probably in 1-2 months)

    After that, the royal gramma. That would be the only agressive fish

    Royal grammas arent aggressive as long as your fish stay out of its territory.:)

    Whell then those would be my 5 fish!! If i REALLY wanted to add a 6th in a year, it would most likely be something small and not agressive at all

    Dude I've been following this thread for awhile and as you know I also have a 29g biocube. Well I only have 4 fish but if I did some more research and found the RIGHT species I could prob have 5 tops with lots of live rock. My last two fish were a flametail blenny and a six line. I added them both together at exact same time and the six line has not been aggressive towards anyone. The flametail is probably the most amaxing addition, he feeds from my hand with my clown and swims all over the tank keeping things clean and well kept. The shrimp goby does what yours does and sits at his cave but hides when fish get too close. I think if you add a six line you should also really add a flametail too. They aren't very common, newly discovered(2010) and are super fun to watch, also it went very well with adding my sixline. Love sixlines, but I do agree with other posters, they can be A holes to new fish, and if you have a fish die it would be very hard to add a new one ever. But I hope you decide on the flametail and sixline combo both serve a purpose and are gorgeous

    Woah! Just saw a video of a flametail blenny for the first time and i love it! Depending on availability and price, i think i might just get it with my six line!
