is this to many

[bunk97]

I was wondering if this is to many fish for a 55 gallon. I have a small yellow tang, clarki clown, and thinking of putting a small bursa trigger. I will eventually have a 125 gallon tank to transfer when they get bigger but for now do you think that this would be o.k.
I would appreicate any suggestions.

If its just for a little while they'll be fine

You will have no problems , and you still can add more fish, as long as it is not a tang, or another trigger.

I have 2-percs and 3-damsels in my 40. I may even add something else. You should be ok as long as the new fish aren't to aggressive.

Add em. It's good to be cautious, but you are a little to cautious. Just check your amonia a few days after you put another fish in. If the amonia spikes, then take it out.

i don't think you are being too cautious
but do agree that if they are small and if you are going to be upgrading soon, then go ahead, but only if the upgrade is certain. In the long, run, if they are the only 3 fish, ti would be a little cramped, and the tang and trigger need bigger tanks alone(for space and swimming), but they could make do in that size tank (based on bioload alone)

hey thanks guys I just added the bursa I appriciate
your suggestions. I guess I am being a little cautious its
just last time I put to many fish in too fast and paid the price so this time I don't want to put to much in. How many med size fish do you think is safe to put in a 55 gallon not tangs or triggers fish like clowns damsels ect.....
