right now in my 55 i have:
2 false percs
coral beauty angle
magenta dottyback
YWG
scooter blenny
tons of corals

i REALLY want to get another fish, today at natures i saw a BEAUTIFUL baby red sea sailfin tang (less than 2 inches!!) i had to do ANYTHING I COULD to keep myself from buying it (it would go into the 125 once it was set up and established) but i knew it would soon max out for my tank, so what fish would you guys add to my 55 gallon?? heres a couple im thinking about:
clown goby
6 line wrasse
any kind of goby
fairy wrasse (natures also has a nice capenters fairy wrasse but it was a little to pricy for me right now)
or other smaller fish

i also had another ?, what would be the least likely dwarf angle to eat softies, LPS, clams, and i might have a few SPS. i was thinking along the lines of a flame or a bicolor, but im not sure (it would be going into the 125)
 
I agree that Rick is very intelligent. I try to obtain as much knowledge as I can every time I visit (like twice a week).
 
I like the Rabbitfish. Nice color when he is not spooked. Plus reef safe. Tangs, the sailfin is a real looker.
If I could turn back time, I would of purchased two tangs at the same time.
 
Fish stocking choices are very subjective, so it's very difficult to give someone opinions. It's YOUR aquarium. However, I think you were very wise to resist the Sailfin Tang. Good choice!

6-lines are kewl, but make it one of your very last additions. They have a tendency to terrorize passive fishes introduced after them into the aquarium.
 
rabbitfish would get too big for a 55 i think, 6 line would be the last fish i could fit in the 55 right?? that would be 7 fish, my filtration is a emperor 440, amiracle mini quad skimmer (orderd a couple days ago) and 115# of LR
 
I would get the 6 line wrasse. I really like mine. So far I have not had any problems with it picking on any new fish I have been adding. Maybe I have been lucky and I realize that this fish can be mean towards peaceful wrasses and other shy fish but mine is very nice. Good luck Jordan!
 
My six line jumped out of the rubbermaid tub in the middle of hte night... so, if you do get a six line, be warned they can be jumpers.
 
o , thats not good, i might be able to put one or 2 small fish in now since i now have MUCHHHHHHH better filtation (fluval 404, and amiracle mini quad skimmer) im thinking about mabey clown goby and a six line, or just a fairy wrasse
 
Jordan:

You could always by some light diffuser (egg crate) for 5 bucks at home depot. I know some people are using that to keep fish inââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¦
