I have a 30 gall. tank. In it I have 6 pounds of live rock. I want to know what kind of fish I should put in it. I was thinking wrasses,clowns, or tangs. What do you think.

A tang should not be put in anything smaller than a 75 gallon tank.They require alot of swimming room.Any of the smaller fish would do quite well in that tank.Just keep the number of fish down to a minimum.This size tank,especially with only six lbs of live rock will be VERY unstable...It would be good if you could add a few lbs of rock a week till you have more like twenty lbs in there.That will add to the stability of the bio system,and help greatly in your overall water quality...

No tangs in a 30 g. Add more l/r if you can. Stick to dwarf angels, clownfish, six line wrasse, flamehawk,royal gramma, chromis, type fish. If I were stocking, I'd add a flamehawk, yellow stripe maroon clown, and bi-color angel or royal gramma. This is my preference of course. DON"T ADD THEM ALL AT ONCE! Slowly is the key, one at a time with 7-10 day intervals. I'm assuming tank is fully cycled. If you are going to add l/r, do it slowly first then add fish. Good luck.
