Answer 1

Well, you will either need to do a fishless cycle withc will take longert than a week or cycle withfish, and a pair of maroon clownfish would amke good cycling fidh for that sized aquarium.

Answer 2

read up on fishless cycling. Then you can safely add the fish you are looking to add to your tank.

Answer 3

clown fish are very popular to have in that size of tank.  A fun fish to watch is a night watchmen goby.  And you might also want to try a 6 line wrasse.  Those are all easy fish to keep, and they all eat the same kind of food.

Answer 4

That size can home many different fish, but not in quantity....you can have 3 yellow tail damsels and 2 clowns, 2 clowns and a goby and a wrasse,

Answer 5

You should let your tank cycle for a longer period of time due to the fact that saltwater fish is more fragile than freshwater fishes. It is not an easy task, and the hard part of having a saltwater fish tank is the maintenance.

Anyways, for your tank, I believe that you can add some percula clownfishes, some Green chromis, or some blennies.

Tangs will get fairly large, they can contract marine ich very easily, it'll be a challenge to get rid of ich. Triggerfishes are very aggressive, they can pick at fins or tear other fishes apart with no problems at all. Lionfish and turkey fishes are predators, they can also feed on any fishes that can fit in their mouths. Gobies are peaceful fishes, but certain species is very hard to take care of. Squirrelfishes can get fairly big, a 29 gallon tank will not be big enough for them, however, if you are upgrading your new tank, it's should be fine for now. Squirrelfishes is fairly hardy.

Wrasses, is also pretty easy, however, some wrasses can be a pest to your tank, and it can be aggressive at times, but more often than not, they are peaceful fishes.

Jacks can grow really big, you will need at least 300 gallons or larger for these types of fishes. Butterflies and Angel fishes are very very fragile, they need the proper care, although they are beautiful, for anyone starting into this hobby, these fishes is not recommended.

Anyways, I hope that this helps, thanks for asking.....................
