Stocking questions updated

[harveys_harvest]

I know I may have asked something similar before, but I’ve recently refined my stocking plan and wanted to get feedback before purchasing any fish.

Current planned stocking:
Tailspot blenny

Goby + pistol shrimp pair

Captive-bred mandarin dragonet (species TBD, but tank-bred/feeding-trained)

Conch and various clean-up crew and ornamental inverts

I’m planning a mixed reef with corals in a mature, stable system. I also plan to do extensive research on any fish before adding them and will be stocking slowly over time.

Question: What would be a good fourth fish option for this setup in a 29g BioCube? I’d prefer to avoid clownfish and royal grammas.

I’m mainly looking for something peaceful and that fits well in the system long-term.

For a 29 gallons you might want to stop there

I always like have neon gobies and clown gobies in my tanks, they are peaceful and ad a nice flash of color and movement and they are usually out and visible.

I like those. I did think about maybe adding one of them

I have contemplated that, but I wanted to pick some brains and see what people might suggest.

Firefish perhaps?

I'd be open to those

What about a six line wrasse or pink streaked?

You could add clowns last if you wanted to. I had a pair of Picasso clowns in my 20g and never once had any aggression issues with them.

Aren't six line wrasse super aggressive?

I wouldn't do a six line in that tank. Pretty active swimmers for a small tank.

If you really want 4 fish, a fire fish is a good choice. The purples are very pretty. The regular ones are no slouches either! Just make sure you have some kind of cover.

I was planning to not do a six line wrasse! I'll likely either do a purple fire fish, assessor, or black clown fish.
