chromis are nice schooling fish and are very active and there is a few different colors of them..

The most popular schooling fish are probably chromis, cardinal fish, and anthias. For a 29 gallon tank, you could keep a pair of cardinals (they tend to stick together like a school), but it's really not large enough for a school of anything.
Several types of anthias could be kept in a 90 gallon tank, and I have a small school of chromis in my 90. Chromis are pretty and cheap. Anthias can be difficult to keep, and are more expensive. But so beautiful.

I ended up getting 5 green cromis which are schooling in my tank. They look pretty cool. Just waiting for them to work their way to the front. Decided on no school for 29 and ended up finding a great looking helfrich's goby for his for 50 bucs. Pricey but a good deal. Thanks for the advice

I love the Helfrichs. I wish I could afford one right now, but Im poor for the time being. Sigh. Oh well. Theres other fish I like more, thankfully.
Theyre fun to watch after they get used to their new home. Enjoy. :)

Are you sure it was a helfichi? Usually they are two to three times that price. If you got it for $50, that is a good deal!

Thats always good. Hey, are your black perculas just as active as a true percula?

Yes. They cruise the whole tank. Especially now since I added the helfrich. You see the other ones all the time. It's cool to see something different
