Answer 1

It does look better than some of your previous lists, but you're looking at the present size of the fish, not their adult sizes which is what you need to consider. The tangs do not stay 3" - the yellow will get around 7", the regal will get about 1 foot, and since they're both tangs, they may not get along. Both types are active fish that need lots of swimming room. Dwarf angels may get up to 6" as adults (depending on which species), and the clowns will get up to 2.5 to 6 inches depending on the species. Because saltwater fish are more territorial and aggressive than freshwater species, you can't keep nearly the same number in the same amount of space.

With the number of fish you have, you're still looking at an overcrowed tank once the fish grow. I know that's not something you want to hear, but you would do better to cut at least one of the tangs (personally, I'd would keep the yellow because it's smaller) and the damsels (because of aggression and reducing the total number of fish).

I came across this "compatability" guide and "planner" a while ago - you might try these out and see what suggestions they give you:

Answer 2

cut the tangs and the damsels and it should be ok, the chromis are a stretch, they get 4" or so. the flame gets 4". i wouild cut the chromis though, maybe one. i knwo there small now but the tangs get big. for a fish only the clown, angel, gramma and three chromis is really really pushing the envelop but it should be ok, judt use a good filter and alot of live rock, the addition of a sump would help as well, if you have the sapce a 29g, quite one 1200 and a 300gph overflow should do fine, you should put a ballvalve on the inlet back to the tank after the pump, you may need to back it down a bit depending on how much head height you have, a ball valve at the bottom of the overflow too helps for maintenace. there is also a fishless cycling method, run the filter and add a cocktail shrimp, after a few weeks the trank is cycled and you can start adding fish. oclliaris clowns would be your best bet as well, they stay under 4"

Answer 3

that looks like a better idea than the previous posts. Keep in mind that once your tank cycles you will go through an algae bloom and will need a clean up crew. bunch of snails, i like the turbo snails they do a great job on algae and the white narsarius snail. i think thats how its spelled haha, and maybe a cleaner shrimp or a fire shrimp. If you dont plan on having corals than urchins and some starfish are always pretty cool.

Answer 4

it relies upon on the quantity of funds you prefer to spend. Salt water fish often are costly and it expenses much extra to get the sufficiently huge tank, pump, and so on. clean water fish are extra much less costly and less difficult to guard. With salt water fish, you would be able to desire to bathe the tank each and every so oftentimes.

Answer 5

yes you can and the green chromis should be about 1 inch- 1.5 inches and the flame angel fish should be about 2-3 inches that should do it and those are perfect combination by the way

Answer 6

yes
