Default can't make up my mind...grrrr

I am wanting to convert my 29g FW to a FOWLR. My problem is I cant decide on what I want !!! So, I come here asking for thoughts and/or comments on which of these guys you would put in. These guys may go into my 55g after we get through with all the upgrades. Boy this is one addicting hobby
Anyway, here is the list I am interested in choosing from,
Pygmy Yellowtail Angel
Yellow Clown Goby
Yellow Head Jawfish
Purple Firefish
Neon Goby
Blue Green reef Chromis
And of course the various snails and hermits for cleanup.
If anyone has alternative choices I am open to ALL ideas. Thanks !

I have always had a thing for clown gobies. I had a yellow watchman once, he jumped ship. Now I have a shrimp goby. Love him! My kids refer to him as "doggy" cause he is always begging.

You have a pretty varied and diverse number of fish that could be placed in your tank successfully. However, problems will arise if you add multiples of a particular same species fish...ie. Goby or Blennie. Also be aware of the size of the fish, not only now BUT as they grow to adulthood!
Green/Blue Chromis', a Blennie, Goby, Firefish, Pajama or Bangaii Cardinalfish, a Flasher/fairy Wrasse, and Percula Clown all make wonderful additions to either a reef or community fish only tank, especially taking into consideration tank and adult fish size!!!!
Some small Centropyge Angels will do ok as well, although they are sometimes more boisterous and will tend to pick on some of the more docile tank mates!!!
Best of luck and let us know what you decide to go with!
