29 gallon fuzzy dwarf tank

[nstanley]

I've set up a 29 gallon salt tank.

I've got live rock and live sand in it, its running on a fluval (40 gl grade) and has a coral-life suspended halide.

In it i want to keep a fuzzy dwarf lionfish, and was thinking maybe some sort of eel.

WHat else could i keep with a fuzzy?
and do i need to get a protein skimmer>?

eel..I would recommend going with some kinda ribbon eel...29 gallon is too small for the others. If you are getting the lionfish and the eel then I don't think you should keep any other fish there, again, because of the size of your tank.

who in their right mind recommends ribbon eels, especially for a 29? they get like 5 feet long and rarely survive...


in the 29 with my fuzzy i keep a neon velvet damsel and a black and gold chromis

and engineer goby would be the only eel-like thing i can think of keeping in a 29

WWM says an engineer goby can get up to 18"

Yes Fuzzy, No eel.

what?? sorry about that...my LFS guy told me that they don't grow that big and don't move that much either...he told me that they can get up to 10"...

Hmm Fuzzy : OK

Eel...Not ok

I;m no expert but some kinda goby would be the most eel-like thing you could keep

i've never seen any one anywhere NEAR that large so i couldn't say... all that i've seen are under 8"


if he has the patience he could be put on the waiting list for a melatremus eel, that's be perfect
