    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.

    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.

    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%. :D 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. :)
