    Question One last fish...

    Okay, in the next couple weeks I'll be adding my last fish to my 29g BC. Right now I have 2 clowns, a watchman gobie, a cleaner shrimp, 3 peppermint shrimp,snails and crabs. I'm stuck between a 6 line Wrasse or a Royal Gramma. What do you guys think? I'm also open to another type of fish if you guys have any good ideas.

    Thanks,
    Deanna

    Depends on what you really like, of course. Those are both good possibilities... Lots of people get really excited about the 6 line, but I could sort of take or leave ours.

    You could also consider:
    pajama cardinal
    bangai cardinal
    firefish
    chalk basslet

    I tried to consider the swimming areas of the fish you already have (watcman will stay on the bottom and clowns will stay closer to the top, so the ones I suggested are likely to swim in the middle or all over).

    Have pretty much the same setup as you 29g Oceanic.

    Critter Count:
    6 line Wrasse
    Green Chromis (first fish)
    Clown
    Green Clown Gobby
    2 peppermint shrimp
    snails
    and crabs

    The only thing I am hating right now are the crabs, since they have this uncanny ability to knock over all of my frags.

    Thanks,

    In my experience, six lines are big swimmers and would benefit from a larger tank/more room to swim. The fish Kristy suggested might be a better choice. Just my opinion.
    Custom Acrylic 180g RR, acrylic sump, 45BR frag tank, 18g fuge, 250+/- lbs LR, Euro Reef CS8-2, 10x39W T5, softies, LPS, and a few SPS.

    But don't cardinals do better in small schools...that's what everything I've read has said. I love cardinals and plan to get a few when I set up my 90g in the new year. I only have room for 1 fish!! Hummm...

    Purple Fire Fish are awsome in nano IMO.
