Need help Stocking

[sankysyuck]

Hey, I just set up a 50 gallon tank and I need some of your ideas for livestock. This is a fish only tank, I most likely will get some live rock though. I'm really not sure what I want yet, so I need some ideas.
Thanks

No tangs or angels. Get fish that stay small. Look into clowns, blennies, wrasses, gobies. You are thinking fish only now... just wait! If you get non-reef safe fishes you will need to get them out if/when you decide to keep a reef.

Yea I know what fish not to buy and coral is not in the question. I know what I'm doing with fish, I just havn't decided yet which fish for this tank. I need more answers! Be more specific!
Thanks

I have a pair of Ocellaris clowns and I like them a lot. My bi-color blenny is super-cool... he darts in and out of a hidy-hole all day. I also have a fire goby that is pretty but kinda boring. If you absolutely aren't getting into coral I'd get a trigger. If I were to keep fish only I know I'd have one for sure. I'd need a bigger tank tho!

Triggers need something bigger then 50 gallons though.

I was thinking of a mini-agressive tank. I'm hoping to get a mated pair of Maroon Clownfish because I know only one can be kept per tank. I was also thinking about a Moray Eel, I'm also interested in a dwarf Lionfish.
