Stocking Plans

Still in process of cycling my 29g, but it is getting close to thinking about the stocking of it.

Here is what I would like
Assorted CUC
1 Cleaner Shrimp
1 Yellow Watchman Goby
2 Ocellaris Clowns (The plan would be to try to get a male and female.)
and 1 Royal Gramma

I would introduce them in that order from top to bottom if the stocking plan sounds do-able. Thanks for any insight.

Sounds like a plan. The only thing I would add is...we want pictures!

Sounds like a gorgeous setup. I know little about interaction of various marine fish, but from what I've studied of the fish you have listed, you shouldn't have a problem (unless you get an anenome for the clowns, in which case they might catch members of your cleaning crew and feed them to the anenome).

That should be a very nice setup. And the larger clown will become the female after some fighting. Don't worry though, nothing major. Also after the tank has been setup for a number of months, you don't have to get an anemone for the clowns. I have a frogspawn coral and mine host in that. Never had a problem either.

Good luck. And yes pictures are mandatory!!

I can't make up my mind on a stocking plan. It has been changing in my mind over the last few days. The core of it remains; CUC(hermits, snails, and shrimp), 2 Ocellaris Clowns, and 1 Royal Gramma. I think I might just go with that, any suggestions. Pictures will come when the tank is stocked.

clowns will host a lot of things even rock, normally the male will clean area ie rock coral anemone , and will lay where cleaned if you are going to raise the fry make sure you have a good pod culture for the fry to eat anyway stocking sound good either way ,,, and cant wait to see pics

Which method are you using for the cycle?
I am asking as it will affect the number of fish you can stock straight away after cycling.

I haven't found a SW fish that hasn't interested in me in some way. I think I'll just go with the 2 Clowns and a Royal Gramma. I'll just wait until I setup my 115g before I get more new fish.
