New 55 Stocking help

[twogirls]

Going to be starting a 55 reef. Need some help stocking it. Daughter wants a Clownfish other than that I am open.

What do you want one or two big fish or a lot of small fish?
I had
1-flame firefish
5-blue/green chromis
2-pygmy angles
some cadinals and a brackish puffer. Nothing much if you want some clowns I would go with some common clownfish or pecula.

2 clowns
lawnmower blenny
firefish (either kind)
clown goby
2 bangaii cardinals
yellow wrasse
sixline wrasse
flame wrasse
coral beauty -caution or flame angel-caution
blackcap basslet or royal gramma
5 blue green chromis
yellow watchman goby with pistol shrimp or a jawfish
midas blenny
idk theres a few things you can get but not everything on the list is compatible just see what you like. come up with a list and we will help narrow it down appropriate to your size tank and compatible with the others.

I say get a tang in there. Sohal tangs are nice.. Hippos.. Powder blue.. tho' they will eventually grow out of the 55.. You still have at least a few years before that happens

i would not get any tang in that size tank, even when they are babies they need swimming room, its just easier for them to find a spot to hide when they are smaller..

thats your wish list?
if so you can get the false perc and diamond goby, but the lunar wrasse will eat crabs snails shrimp etc. So you cant get that in a reef.. unless your not going to get anything like that..
You can get more fish than that.. do you like any others? make a big list of all the fish you like and then we can narrow it down.

I would do a pair of clowns IMO. Diamond Goby is good, although I would go with a possum, sixline or flasher wrasse. I also like firefish. Chromis are ok but can get nasty. They would not be my first choice. Blackcap bassletts are also cool fish.
