1 or 2 more fish?

[mitch303]

So I have a 55 gallon tank and I was wondering if I could add another fish or two.

Current stock list
2 ocellaris clowns
1 mandarin
1 green/blue chromi

I know some people will say something about the mandarin I have a fuge with tons of pods and he eats almost anything i put in the tank .

So any suggestions on what else I could add. I'm not really a fan of gobies or firefish

 

[peasofme]

i would not add anything that eats pods, like wrasses.

 

[mitch303]

Yea I wasnt planning on a wrasse I have an open top and I have heard they are jumpers. Any suggestions on what I can add

 

[peasofme]

banggai cardinal, tailspot blenny, bicolor blenny

 

[mitch303]

I like the bangaii do you think I could add a pair or just one? Also I used to have a lawnmower blenny that I got rid of because he was getting skinny so are the blennies you listed picky eaters?

 

[peasofme]

bicolor would be the least picky blenny and tailspot is right behind him. lawnmowers are the most picky. bangaii's will kill their own. bangaii's are endangered and can be picky eaters so you would want a tank raised. it is also said that you may have better luck feeding a bangaii at night.

I had a bicolor blenny that ate everything and I would like to get a tailspot and believe they have like appetites ....I also love my midas! neon gobies are nice small fish as are the yellow clown gobies.What size refugium do you have?

 

[peasofme]

do midas, bicolor, and tailspot get along?

 

[mitch303]

Well The sump is a 20 gallon long so I would say the refugium is about 5 gallons

 

[mitch303]

Could I chance putting a flame angel or coral beauty I know they are known for picking at corals but have heard of people having them in a reef. Any thoughts?

 

[peasofme]

i've heard most dwarfs turn into horror stories

 

[mitch303]

Really I figured that just thought I would throw it out there. I guess a goby would be pretty cool what are some colorful ones that aren't picky?

 

[peasofme]

yellow watchman, orange spotted

 

[mitch303]

I like the orange spotted is there a shrimp I could pair him with?

 

[peasofme]

tiger pistol

 

[peasofme]

this is the orange goby i meant http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+1926+195&pcatid=195

not the diamond goby which is a sand sifter.

 

[mrstihl]

Atlantic pygmy angel. Safest angel out there. I have never heard of one causinig problems with corals or clams.

 

[btsd]

Dwarf angel or maybe a hawkfish would be cool

 

[Bnortz]

A sleeper Goby would be cool, they clean the sand all day long and need to be well fed.
