Hello,
I have a 29 Gal. Biocube.....I have one clownfish in it, a rose BTA, two shrimp, several hermies and snails, plus two emerald crabs. Would this be considered understocked, just right, or overstocked?

I'd say it could handle 2-3 more fish depending on size and kind of fish.

Yes ,you can get more fish. Inverts process food much more efficiantly and do not put much strain on your bioload. I really do not count them.

I agree with everyone. If it were me, I would find a mate for your clown to make a pair, then get a bottom dweller goby like a yellow watchman and leave it at that.

Sounds familiar! Only problem is I have that combo in a 14g biocube .Wasn't a problem when I first got them ,they were all tiny but now i have to consider relocating them.
