29g stocking

[Ghostyboythedog]

Hi, I have a 20 gallon high switching to 29 or what some considered a 30 I have 2 clowns, and a indigo dottyback. Any ideas if I could put like one more fish. And I know the dottyback, but she was a rescue she got beaten by a fish and doesn’t even try to harm anything.

You have room for 2-3 more small fish depending on filtration and if the dottyback is as calm as you say it is.

I had 2 clowns, a hawkfish, a dwarf angel, and a royal gramma in my 29g.

It's less # or size of additional fish, more what type of fish.

Dottys and clowns are all territorial so if you want another fish that is active and swims everywhere, 1 more is likely the most you can have. If you get more docile ones, you can probably get 2 or 3 more

For example, potential additions can be:

1) pick one: coral beauty, 6 line wrass, pigmy cherub

Or

2) pick two: firefish, basslets like purple or royal gramma (might fight your dotty depending on your rockwork), watchman gobie, banggai,.

OR

3) Pick three: pick two above + one of: cleaner gobe, sandsifting goby.

This will push your tank to the max.

Yes, maybe not some of the bigger ones but a coral beauty, flameback, or a Pygmy could work depending on if your dottyback is actually tame.

You can get a valentini puffer if you don't have any inverts.
