    Hey guys, long time no see. I was wondering if I can add a Marroon Clown fish in the 29 biocube? I have uhm..2 Chromis, and 1 cleaner shrimp and thats about it. I heard Marroon clown fish are aggresive. Do you think its good idea to add marroon in there? Thanks

    I think he was suggesting to get a nem so it would hang out in there and wouldn't attack the chromis, but idk if that would work anyway. And that doesnt really matter anyway unless you seriously upgraded the stock lighting on your cube.

    I think the smaller tanks can make the aggression issue with the maroons even worse. As for the nem, people please stop getting these just for clown fish! Clowns DO NOT need nems period!

    Don't Maroons grow to be 5-6 in. Seems a bit large for a 29 gallon. But I'm no expert. There is one in my LFS that is about the size of my hand.

    I've got a small chocolate in a 20g (by himself). I like them. They seem to be pretty docile so far. I'm putting him in one when I get my dual 90's up.
