Fish Choice

[jwhitlow1031]

I have a 54 Gallon corner reef tank; I have a percula clown, blue green chromis, and a few other smaller fish. Their all doing fine and my H20 is in great shape. I want to get a bigger fish or two that would look a bit "beefier" I have herd that tang's wouldn't be good because of the size of my tank. But there must be some other similar fish that would look good and be a bit more of a centerpiece type fish.... any ideas?

i would go with a undulate trigger fish.....

 

[capefear]

a grouper would be a good choice to.

 

[jwhitlow1031]

wouldn't the undulate trigger kill the other fish?

i want this to be a community tank, friendly fish only thats why i was wanting the tangs or a similar fish that would be better for my tank size, any ideas?

[jwhitlow1031]

i would go with a yellow tang, nice color only get one they get up to 8" usually end up smaller but not much

Foxface or Dwarf Angel?

At the beginning you said that you had a reef tank and then you said you want a fish only tank. If it is a fish only, your options would be much greater and I would second the choice of a dwarf angel. Awsome looking fish that I haven't taken a risk on, due to the risk they pose in a reef tank.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and pray that you're joking

oh, yea, its a reef tank...what i was tring to say is that i wanted community fish, non agreesive. i already have few smaller fish that i want to keep along with a few corals, so the fish would need to be reef safe and able to do well with the fish and space that i already have. 54 gallons, there are only a few small fish, a chromis, false clown, and a few other small guys, i just wanted something along the lines of a tang, i would get a yellow, but i have herd that they dont do well in a tank as small as mine....was trying to find a few other choices that might do a bit better, you can check out my tank at www.picturetrail.com/jwhitlow1031

I second the Foxface.

A foxface might get too big.
