My fish in my 29 gal FOWLR all died from ich a couple weeks back so now I am looking to restock. They died b/c I added a beautiful red firefish goby and my damsel picked on it so much it came down with ich and before I could catch it they all had it (lost 2 clowns, 2 damsels, 1 red fire goby).
Anyway I am looking to restock within the next couple of weeks and this is what I am thinking:
1 mandarin goby
1 red firefish goby
2 false percula clowns

Tank is well established and has been running for a year. My specs are in the specs area if any questions.
Thanks

I wouldn't put a mandarin in a 29g. Even if the tank is well-established, you don't have a big enough pod population to provide a sustainable food source for it. Hold off on the mandarin until you get a bigger system and pick something different in the meantime. A midas blenny or a banggai cardinal would be good options.

The blenny would be cute, but Cardinals are soo boring =) Consider a dwarf Angel and a perc, that should work pretty well...

So anyway, will a Coral Beauty fit in a 29 gal? I saw some that were about 2-2.5" for a good price and would like to add one to the tank but don't know much about the fish.
Right now the only thing in the tank is a firefish goby and various inverts.
THanks....

I kept a CBA in a 29 with a single tomato clown for about 6 months, then moved everything to a 55... Did fine for me =)
