as of right now all i have is a false perc, rbta, snails, and a few crabs. i am trying to figure out what other fish i should stock. here are a few i have been looking at:
royal gramma basslet or blackcap basslet
black saddleback clown
true perc clown
coral beauty angel
sixline wrasse
secretive wrasse
so my question is would these be compatible together? does anyone have any suggestions as far as which ones they would recommend or not recommend? are there any that arent on this list you would suggest i look into getting?

definitely a no on the saddleback, it'll kill your current clown...a sixline could get aggressive, but not quite as bad as a saddleback. I dunno about the secretive wrasse though.
What size tank?

its a 55 gallon tank. so a no go on the saddleback clown. would it be okay to put a true perc with a false perc? any suggestions on some peaceful fish that would be okay for this size of a tank? are sixlines aggressive?

Clown fish will fight among themselves so I would no go with a false and true in your tank. Sixlines are known as the Jekyll and Hyde fish some people love them and some hate them due to their unpredictable behavior. I have a rater large sixline in my 110G and he tormented my clown, royal Gramma and Orchid Dottyback when I introduced them to my tank. In all farness he was well established before they arrived. I personally would not get another one I would much rather see my royal and orchid swimming around more freely as the sixline still occasionally bothers them. If I were you I would look into the orchid, royal and Banggai cardinal for introduction

I've had a six line wrasse and a coral beauty.They seemed like they got along ok.But I have a 210 gal tank.So I don't know if that had anything to do with it or not.
