stocking a 55 gal. tank

[clownsrcoo]

I've just finished cycling my tank and i've made a list of fish I want. If you have any comments I'd love to hear them.
1 six line wrasse
1 neon goby
1 firefish and 1purple firefish
2 sebae clowns
2 ocellaris clowns
1 Heniochus butterfly
1 royal gramma
1 flame angel

Probably not a good idea to mix the clowns. I would pick one pair or the other. The heniochus will eventually grow too large for your tank. They can get up to 10 inches I think. I would recommend dropping the heniochus and teh sebae clowns. Add the flame angel last as it is the least accepting of new tankmates on your list.

I agree. Drop the butterfly and one of the clown pairs.

Can you make any suggestions on a cool, but small butterfly or angel fish for my 55 gal. tank?

Any of the dwarf angels are a good choice but only one.

I wouldnt put in more than a couple gobies. and neon gobies are constantly getting cought in filters and alike. try either two firefish or two purple firefish I wouldnt suggest mixing also I agree drop the butterfly and one pair on clowns. also many people have had problems with clownfish attacking gobies so choose carefully on that instance. I am thinking a chromnis might be a good addition but I have to think that one over. hope this helps

)Yea, dont go with a goby. I personally dont like gobies, but whatever. Also, sebae clowns, with my experience, are EVIL!! My sebae was the hitler of clowns, didnt like other clowns. Killed 3 clowns in the same day. Plus, oscellaris are just so much cooler. As for the missing fish, to replace the gobie, I would say.... Lawnmower Blenny. They will keep yer tank clean, they have lots of personality and they are hardy. Always a good choice, lots or people have em. They would all agree that they are great. I named mine Buddy, mostly becuz he flies behind a rock wen I walk in the room (scaredy pants ) As for the angel, butterfly, the butterfly is always a little sketchy, and angels are sometimes easier to keep. Get a lemonpeel or flame angel, cuz they are nice. Lemon peels will add some definite color. Or, I have a yellow tang in my tank, adds color and he is great, TANG POLICE, I don't wanna hear it, k, he is perectly fine. LOL, if u want, put a yellow tang in, thye are nice and hardy. K, good luck.
