reef tank! LPS and SPS dominated
I like a lot of clownishes, i dunno if i can try to have a small tang..
I am going to pass from my nano reef one gish already a pseudochromis fridmani. I would like to have a six line wrasse too..
Chromis viridis are cool, but i heard a lot of things about they killing the most weak of the group and u always stay with 1 or 2 of the 5 or 7 that u bought.

clownfish are great for a 60 and do extremely well in a reef. I would pass on the tang as all of them will grow too large for your tank. If you get chromis I wouldnt buy more than two as they will kill each other off. Have you thought about getting a pygmy angel? A small harem of Royal Grammas would do well in your setup.

Hi stykthyn,
y thought to pass on the tang, at liveaquaria ( the website where i see the species ) only the Yelloy Tang is considered as possible to keep in 50 gal.. the chromis i was thinking of pass because of that problem. The Dwarf Angelfish are very beautuful, but i don't like that thing of '' can nipple the corals'' . What grammas are u talking about?
thanks a lot for your help!

i have a 65 and I am going w/ all small fish....
So far I only have 2 clowns, and I just got a Pseudochromis Elangatus (Elegant Dottyback) yesterday and he is awesome!
beautiful coloration and supposed to be on of the less aggressive pseudos..
Since my 65g isn't very big, having a bigger fish just doesn't look natural to me...I would rather see several smaller fish living happy in their little slice of reef instead of one big fish cooped up in a tiny glass box..
EDIT: just read you already have a fridmani...adding the elangatus would be a bad idea

AJF, the coral beauty I have does not nip at any of my corals. I have had him for almost a year now and the only time I have seen him nip is at my nassarius snails. He does this when the nassarius start to climb the glass and he appears to be knocking them down. From what I have read most people don't have too many problems with them nipping but ever now and then you get one that causes problems.

flame angels are notoriously aggressive towards their own kind. I would not keep any other dwarf angels with one.
