    currently have lubbocks fairy wrasse, coral beauty, and a clown.
    I have biocube 29 gallon. I was wondering if I am good, or overstocked, or can i add like a goby or firefish, or jawfish

    To me it sounds pretty packed and i wouldn't add any more but that is my opinion.

    I have a randalli, 2 clowns, a neon dottyback and a sixline wrasse. I do a 5g WC weekly and my nitrates are under 10ppm..Just keep your water changes up and it should be fine.

    I have a 29g biocube also.

    see in that instance, its really up to you, as long as your fish are NOT stressed out about another fish, and you keep up with your water changes, i dont see how maybe a YWG or a clown goby could hurt SOO bad.

    yeah, just do waterchanges..i do waterchanges every week..about 3 gallons maybe, just depends on how much is mixed..

    it just depends on equipment and waterchanges..and CUC is a huge importance

    Yes, to what they said above i had a purple firefish and then fish that were getting a lil stressed becuz it was a lil high in bioload he got ripped apart and killed..Just be careful of what you add and how much.
