Well, I just thought I could use all of the help I could get.

A yellow wrasse

My tank is 55 gallons. I also do have very fine live sand.

Hi, everyone. I have a question. I want a small cleanup crew because I can't afford enough live rock. All the fish I want in the tank are fine with invertebrates, except for the yellow wrasse. Can I have some suggestio for a small cleanup crew? Please do not include any echinoderms( sea urchins...

Well, one of the pieces of the live rock is less dense and has more filtering bacteria in it. And, after I add my clownfish in the big tank, I might put the live rock from my 15 gallon into the the 55.

Good news! I finally lowered my specific gravity to the level I want it, which is 1.023 (Ok, not really I wanted it to be at 1.022, but the water quality is fair enough). I put my live rock in. The live rock is only about 15 pounds altogether, but I plan on just keeping a few small fish, which...

OK, sorry. I guess I just want to put the clown in first. Also, does anyone here know about a good acclimation method besides drip acclimation?

OK, but I am just asking, can I keep one of the smaller triggers in a specimen tank? My LFS has very good aquarists, and I told probably the best one there that I wanted to have a specimen tank for a trigger. He said that was a good idea. He also knew I have a 55 gallon.

Yeah, coral shrimps are good. I remember I saw this big, humongous coral shrimp in a tank at my LFS. He was like 3 inches! Most coral shrimp don't make it past two inches. Also, if neon gobies don't satisfy your girlfriend because of their short lifespan, you could get a yellownose prawn goby...

No, I have a test kit, but some people recommend a cheap fish to be added first in the tank, to see If their aquarium is ready for others, and I am putting my clown in as my first fish. Basically, it is my cycling fish.

Maybe. There could be some minor competition among the damsels, not including the clowns. So, get like, 3 chromis, which are less aggressive than other damsels. They like to school. I don't know about maroon clowns, though.

Not telling. But I am not in high school yet, I will tell you that. Getting sort of close, though. Also, get a peppermint shrimp. Mine is very good cleaning up. Mine also interacted with me. THey have great personality. Just some advice though, DO NOT GET URCHINS! They are big waste producers...

Took pics of my tank. I can't show them right now. My specific gravity is sort of high. I'm lowering it to 1.022, which is my 15 gallons specific gravity. I'm not getting chromis to check if my cycling is done. I am going to put in my ocellaris clown.

hah! I'm younger than both of you. (Don't ask me how old I am.)

ok, If your tank isn't overstocked, you could buy her a blue chromis. When it gets to big for her tank, you could move the chromis into your tank. So, she could enjoy a blue fish in her tank, temporarily. Also, people don't have neon gobies for so long because they have a lifespan for about 2...
