I know i know theres a ton of people who do this, but I have some ideas and some limits...
First
I will have 2 F8's in my 29g
2 BBGS (can you have more?)
Will some monos do well with f8's? my LFS said hes not exactly positive but he says it may be worth a try.. so im asking you guys

Absolutely no monos in there. They grow as large as your outstretched hand, need to be in a school, which would require a 300+g tank & they go into SW as adults.

Scat's have roughly the same requirement as Monos and are messier eaters

Scats are among the few fish that are messier than puffers or Oscars. They should be species-only, in very large tanks.
