how aggressive are they??? my begining plan was....

2 common clownfish
1 yellow prawn goby
1 royal gramma
1 six line wrasse

till I learned it was agressive.

Im still confused with the royal gramma. All other sites/books said they were peaceful.

Well.....are you going to keep it as a reef? Or mostly fish and soft corals? A fish list like that would be hard to keep hard corals...I had 4 fish in my 29 gallon and it was a constant battle getting my nitrates and phosphates down. Now I have a 45 and one less fish.....lol go figure! If your planning on having hard corals...your going to have a time keeping the tank clean enough for them. and I would just leave the fish list where its at and not add anything else...But thats just me.

Sounds good. That angelfish might need a little more swimming room. They usually turn a lot of food into wastes...so he will be a little waste machine. But try him out and see how he does......thats the only way to be sure. :)
