    So I have a 29g tank and I have 2 peppermint shrimp, 2 ocellaris clowns, a fire shrimp, and a couple turbo snails

    So I'm planing on making the tank a reef tank but it's not mature enough. It's been 5 weeks since the tank was set up, it has been 2 weeks since the end of the cycle. I plan on waiting to add anymore fish for 3 more weeks to allow the tank to stabilize.

    Now! I want 2 more fish and I have 2 that I would really want, but if they don't work I have a list of others that I would be happy to put in my tank

    I would REALLY like a possum wrasse and a flame angel.

    Now if those don't work I was thinking

    Flasher wrasse
    Longnose hawkfish
    Bicolor blenny
    Purple dottyback
    Yellow clown goby

    If you have any other ideas on nice peaceful fish feel free to post!

    I think two clownfish, the possum wrasse, and either the blenny or goby would look nice, HTH:)

    flame angels aren't particularly reef safe. its a hit or miss with them. it may never nip... or it may eat all your corals. another problem is getting out of the tank... there fast. JMO:)

    UPDATE!(for all who care) so I've made a decision on my next fish


    Wait for it...



    ..Possum Wrasse! I asked my buddy at the LFS if he would order me one and he said he could have one in probably next week. Now I think im going to ask him to keep it for a week for me so I can let my qt finish cycling and such.

    So now I am left with a pedicament what do I get as my final fish??
