Please help me restock?

tussinhead · 12-08-2004, 01:06 PM

Okay, I got rid of my Hi-Hat and French Angel. After doing a lot of reading, and thanks to the advice of the posters here at Reefland, I decided that my 29-gallon tank was inappropriate for either of these fish.

All I have in there now is a lawnmower blenny and some snails.

My plan is to add the following fish:

Liopropoma swales (Sunset Basslet) or Liopropoma rubre (Swissguard Basslet)
Diademichthys lineatus (Yellow Stripe Clingfish)
Chromis viridis (3) (Blue/Green Reef Chromis)

Does anyone see a problem with any of these? In which order should I add them? Can I have more than 3 Chromises?

Most folks recommend 1 fish per 20 gallons. I make 3 work but they are small and have very different personalities. I don't think that I could get away with any more without problems with my parameters or territory. As for the fish you asked about someone should chime in with experience.

I think Chromis viridis (3) (Blue/Green Reef Chromis) would be your best choice. THat or maybe a pair of A. Ocellaris.

In my 29 gallon;
I have 2 pufferfish, a goby and had 2 ocellaris clowns in mine (one died).
Ironically the clowns beat up the puffers on occasion rather than the other way around.
you could get away with that possibly.

on your list I think the Chromis would far the best
