    I agree, I think you should be ok.$25 is a really good price. I just got one that was on sale for $30.

    evolved can provide a good opinion on wrasses. I suspect that his answer will be that 29 gal might be too small but don't quote me on that. You'll hear so many different answers for your question so in the end you have to decide whether it's worth taking the chance in your tank. Depending on the fish it may turn out okay but it may also end up being detrimental.

    Just keep in mind that the *actual water volume* is not 29g. So with all your rock how much actual space is your fish going to have to swim around in?
