Livestock for 29 gallon

Bloodkip · 12-24-2010, 07:48 PM

I would do this if this is my 29g. 1 yellow watchman goby/shrimp pair, 2 oscelleris clowns, 1 gramma and 3 chromis. Also a CUC from RC. This is over $100 on Bluezoo, so you get free shipping.

whoa now thats a good deal

Wow that is a great deal. Only problem for me (since I'm looking to stock my tank as well) is that I wouldn't feel comfortable adding so many fish at once to such a new tank. Maybe next Christmas. haha

oh well yeah I know that! I was thinking about that too because there could be an overload in the amount of ammonia that the fish will make thus the bacteria gets its @$$ handed to it XD

they arent paired.. well.. they might be now lol..

but i bought 2 separate red firefish, I saw a school of 7 firefish at my LFS so i just kinda chose 2 from there and they have been fine ever since. At least IME they are really peaceful, and are always schooling around in my tank.

o thats probably why because they were in a school

Well I've made a list of possible candidates for my tank.
Corals:
Kenya tree
zoanthids (different varieties of course)
red mushrooms
finger leather coral (devil's hand I should say)
Green star polyps
Some kind of button polyps; suggestions?
I'd also like some kind of yellow coral; more suggestions?

Fish:
Black and white Ocellaris clown pair
Firefish
Yellow Watchman Goby/ Pistol shrimp pair
Starry Blenny (a little worried because i think it might fight with the YWG)
Mandarin (eventually, probably not gonna have it in a long time but want to have it as a reminder anyway)

Inverts:
Hermit Crabs
can I actually keep anything else? I'd assume that the pistol shrimp would kill any cleaners, peppermints, or blood red fire shrimp

Great list! A starry blenny that I used to have turned out to be my favorite. Not the best in looks, but his personality made up for that by 200%.

ive never had a Pistol Shrimp, but would some type of starfish work out? I've had great luck with Serpent Starfish in a nano reef. Also, if you're looking for a yellow coral, I'd wager that a small colony of Sun Polyps would be a good inhabitant.
