Hey all! I have a 29 gal reef with a few soft coral and 2 lps (favia and candy.) I currently have 2 clownfish and am looking into stocking more fish and making this mixed reef diverse and colorful. I originally had thought about procuring a puffer fish as they have always been some of my favorite however I recently picked up a blue spotted puffer from my LFS that is massive and am now rethinking getting a puffer. The BSP will definitely be going back soon, however I still want a puffer, maybe a smaller sp. like the leopard puffer might be more suitable??
Contrary to my hopes I might have to cancel all ideas about puffers due to reef compatibility and the size of my tank. My other ideas on stock are as thus:
-Mandarin (of some kind)
-Clown Goby
-Blenny (Rock dwelling, such as a midas or bicolor)
-Some kind of middle column swimming fish such as a small wrasse/dottyback/basslet
I guess my questions are as thus: Is it feasible to keep my hopes of a puffer and adding one or two of the above listed fish? Are the above listed fish compatible with each other and if not all then which ones arent? And finally any suggestions (species specific) that I should too add to the list to obtain a diverse stock that will captivate different parts of the tank?
Thanks in advance for everyone that gives this thread a look over.
