I did not add any because the list is endless.

Here are some suppliers where you can get a good idea of what there is;

Marine Center
Live Aquaria
The Petstop
That fish Place
Marine Depot
Saltwaterfish.com
Vivid Aquariums
Jeffs Exotic Fish
Fishsupply.com
Aquatic Connection

I have never bought fish from any of the companies, I just use them for reference.

[wozza]

[Smallmouth]

I think there are a couple of Fairy/Flasher Wrasses you could add to the list.

Centropyge loriculus and C. flavissima really need a tank larger than 29 gallons. Only the C. argi might work in a 29-gal tank.

• Tomato Clown (Amphiprion frenatus)

This fish gets too large and too aggressive for a 29-gal tank.

• Ocellaris Clown (Amphiprion ocellaris)
• Percula Clown (Amphiprion percula)

Both of these species would be acceptable for a 29-gal tank.

• Diadem Anthias (Pseudanthias parvirostris)
• Bartlett's Anthias (Pseudanthias bartlettorum)

A 29-gal is too small for any of the Anthias.

Bangaii Cardinalfish (Pterapogon kauderni)

Banggai cardinalfish require something larger than 29 gallons.

And, don't forget, if this is going to be a reef tank (this is the reef aquarium forum), then you have to take into consideration the suitability of the fish. For example, C. flavissima would be a very risky choice. C. loriculus would be less risky but still not completely safe. C. argi would be the safest bet in that group.

oh my bad, i completly forgot about the fact that this is reef, not fish only!
as the other things about my fish sugertions i messed up, i guess i dont know as much as i thort i did! haha oh well eh!

[sihaya]

I think Ninong is right in everything in his post. 29g is a small tank.

Personally, I'd go with a couple gobies or firefish. They're pretty, reef safe, and they're fun to watch... and they stay really small.

I think you could also have a dwarf lionfish. But just remember if you get one of them you won't be able to add any shrimp.

Or Gobies or Firefish.

[sihaya]

Oh, right... I forgot about that. LOL But actually, my dwarf lion can't catch my coral gobies. Then again though, my dwarf lion eats flake food... so he's a bit special.

[John Hamilton]

I would really like to have one, but all I'd be offering it is an expensive, flashy buffet once it got all growed up.

[sihaya]

Haha... yeah.

Mine hasn't grown since I've got it (at least as far as I can tell). And I feed it well, so I think it would be growing if it were going to grow. I just don't think they get all that big. My understanding was they stay about the size of a baseball (but someone correct me if I'm wrong).

[John Hamilton]

Is it the Fuzzy Dwarf or Fu Manchu?

[sihaya]

Fuzzy dwarf

[John Hamilton]

I really wanted to get one, but had to backout once I found out it can get up to 7". Reguardless of how fast or slow it swims, I don't want to take the chance of it eating any of my fish and I'm sure they appreciate it as well.

[sihaya]

Mine is 5-6in. I definitely understand not wanting to take the risk though. Their mouths can open pretty big. If my coral goby ever got a little slower, I'm sure he'd be lunch in no time.

[wozza]

i know what you mean my spotfin lion is only 2.5" maybe 3" but his mouth can open about the same size as the middle of a CD.

[DaviesPats]

choices are limited with the reef and only being 29 gal...goby pair/fire fish/clown pair...chromis's and yea...not much more

[Smallmouth]

I was thinking 3 to 4 small fish myself just looking for suggestions.
