I've got a 35 gallon tank with liverock, UGF filter and powerheads. I currently have 1 6-line wrasse, firefish and 1 blood shrimp. I'm hoping to have 1 more firefish, 1 more blood shrimp, a Royal Gramma, and a Flame Angel by the time everthing is "perfect". Are these guys safe together? Also, if possible I would love to have a mandarin but I'm told they need lots of copepods to feed on. (Can you raise them a feed them to the mandarin?)
Thanks for your help :D

Well, sounds like you are gonna be overstocking your tank. It is only a 35 gallon tank and you plan on putting quite a few fish in there for such a small tank. I think you should get another Firefish and the Gramma and skip the Angel because you don't have enough space for an Angel because they need a lot of room to swim. Also, it will probably be alright adding the other shrimp but the shrimp may try to fight and they could kill eachother. You really should have a 50 gallon or more to house Angels with a lot of other fish. Trust me, you can't keep the Mandarine alive in your tank. Too small, not enough food, and not mature enough. You really need a 100 gallon or more tank that is at least 1 year old and there is a strong population of copepods.

Your close to pushing the tank's filtering system to the edge. Try to go without the Royal Gamma and the Mandarin - the flame will really look great in your tank.
