55 gallon stocking

[Fish Ed]

I'm planning on starting a 55 gallon reef tank. ATM I have the tank, white led lights and an eheim 2217, it was a planted tank now I'm tearing it down. I do have a stocking suggestion in mind but I think it might be just a little bit too much.

•2 ocellaris/percula clownfish
•1 fire goby
•4 green chromis
•2 banggai cardinal
•3 lyretail anthias(1m:2f)
•1 longfin fairy wrasse/flasher wrasse
•1 yellow tang(?)-probably not :lmao:
•speckled damselfish "pomacentrus bankanensis"(was about give it away but since I'm starting a new tank)

Anything to remove or possible space to add more

I vote against the chromis they will eventually go down to one and can be a little mean, not as bad as say dominoes but still. As for the yellow tang it is iffy sometimes it works sometime it doesn't So Your call if you want to try it or go with something smaller and needs less space like a dwarf angel

Hmm perhaps lowering it to 3 chromis for a start? And see how it goes, any aggression I'll give them away.

All you peeps can also recommend or suggest a new list if you wish

I'd even vote against the ocellaris.
I have a 65 gallon tank. The dominant ocellaris won't let me introduce any more fish.
Turned into a real PITA.
Maybe I got unlucky, but the bigger she gets, the more ornery she gets.

I believe you just got unlucky because I have a big female ocellaris in a 55 and you can tell she is the boss but she doesn't attack anyone but my keyhole angel but he is a little bit of a bully so I am good with it.

Also if you go against the tang and instead do a dwarf make sure to go with some of the more reef safe ones like a flame or coral beauty they seem to be the most reef safe and add a lot of color my flame is my favorite fish in my 60 gallon but it is completely up to you.

I might consider on dwarf angels but I'm afraid of my corals being nipped. Maybe I'll consider.

Let's just say I'm using the original stocking list(except with 3 chromis), which one should come first to last?
