was just wondering what kind of fish would be good to put in a newly cycled 29 gal sw tank i have about 20-25 lbs LR, 30 lbs of sand with 10 of that being live. I havent added the cleaning crew yet but will be in less than a week. i was hoping to get some clown and maybe a jawfish but am open to suggestions

I would start with the CUC and then wait 2-3 weeks. Then I would add a pair of clowns. With only 20-25 lbs live rock you'd have to keep it stocked light. a jawfish is going to need a much deeper sandbed then what 30 lbs provides. I have 50 lbs in mine and gave me maybe a 2-3 inch sandbed

my sand bed is about 4 inches deep so i dont think it should be a problem, i know i should wait for the fish which i am going to do i am just gettting excited thinking about the possibilities.
