livestock for 55 gallon tank

[taguy]

we just started a new 55 gallon reef tank to replace our 30 gallon tank we are moving a blue tang a perc clown a royal gramma and a long spine urchin into this tank (the 55 gal) and i wanna put in a dwarf lion what else would you guys put with this setup???

Not too much after the dwarf lion. One more smaller fish would be good.

wife wants to do a couple of firefish gobies what would you guys suggest

 

[laxwarrior]

a potters angel or a elibi angel would be a nice addition.Also the blue tang might grow out the tank if hes big enough because i had 1 and it did.But firefish gobies are great fish to add.

I'm not an expert, but from my readings, the gobies will become lunch for a dwarf lion. One of the pro's might be able shed more light.

Yeah, firefish and dwarf lion would not be a good combo, except for the lion. Firefish are good eatin' for a lion!! Decide which fish you want more. If you want the lion, you'll be pressed to put anything else in the tank simply because lions, even dwarfs, need alot of water. I have 2 volitans in a 150 gallon and I really think that they'll fill this tank up. If you want the firefish, you'll have more options to put other things in the tank. Have fun!!

Putting a lion in a reef tank is a bad idea.:notsure:
