Fish Assortment

[shawn_dude]

I'm open for suggestions on what type of fish to stock my 55 ga high corner tank. Since I live in Korea, the majority of fish are imported from Bali, Indonesia. Please state quantity and type. My wallet is a little flexible so $$$'s not a issue. Combinations are welcomed. I like Angels but after reading several articles in the message board my tanks appears to be too small?
Thanks,
Shawn

First you must start with a damsel or clownfish
or did you cycle your tank already?

what do you wish to have, a 55 is a smaller tank, but has alot of potential and the possiblities are vast for one
maybe a good start would be a pair of clwns, as reccommended
good fish good personality and easy to care for

My tank is near completion of its cycle. Just planning ahead to avoid fish that are considered to be too big or agressive. I like angels, butterfly's, triggers and trunk fish. etc...I like them all! What fish are recommended for cleaning the LS/LR.
Thanks,
Shawn

Since you like the angels, you could try a flame angel. very colorful, mine stays out always, only problem is some say they nip at soft corals. Mine dosn't but I always have a piece of algae in there for him to snack on.

For 55 Gallon my suggestion is
Pair of Clown Fish
Pair of Fire goby
1 Yellow tang
pair of Cardinal
and some gobies or blenny
maybe one dwarf angel

percula clownfish and/or a yellow stripe maroon clown. a royal gramma, flame hawk(great personality), mandarin fish, flame angel and a blue spotted jawfish. the flame angel or any other dwarf angel need to be added after 6 months of tank being established. the jawfish also would be better off being added after a few months and needs a deep sand bed(4-6)inches. the mandarin needs plenty of live rock. In a 55 gallon about 100lbs or more of established live rock and a good sand bed would have a good pod population. This is another fish that needs to be added after a few months. These fish would be good IMO because they stay fairly small and the tank could be made into a reef environment. I would say no to any tangs, triggers, lions or large angels. Check out different websites for fish pics and info and pick out your favorites. Good luck and have fun.
