I have a 29g reef tank. So far, I have a cleaner shrimp, a clownfish, and a ruby long fin fairy wrasse.

1. Need some fish recommendations that are COMPATIBLE with mine, REEF SAFE, and looks nice under BLUE lights! Thanks in advance!!

2. How many more fish can I add? (I know my tank can handle more bioload cause I used to have more fish before with the same filtration.)

If there is only one clownfish you could pair it up, just make sure the one you get is smaller than the one currently in your tank. Orchid dotty backs are nice under blue light (should be added to end, some can display aggression).

For your size tank I would have about 5-6 fish that max out at 3" when fully matured.

Thanks! I forgot to mention that I already had a pair of clownfish but one clownfish was being so aggressive to other clownfish whenever I have blue lights on. :(
 
How long did you let the aggression play out before removing it?
About a week until it got to the point where the clownfish tore the fin from the other one.
