That means I expect you to research what fish you are interested in and come up with what you feel is a reasonable stocking plan for your 55 gallon tank. Also indicate whether you plan on a FOWLR or reef type tank.
PLEASE check out your intended fish purchases here first!

Hey guys,
This is my first post here and I was wondering on what fish I should get.
My (future) setup:
75 g tank
Fluval 205 canister filter
Hydro wave maker
Marineland double led 48" lights
As you can see it is not very complete. I am planning on a fowler tank, with "lots" of small fish, but I am open to any suggestion or criticism. If you think you can help me pick out some fish, additions/omittions of equipment, that would be great. Thanks for the help!!!

While this thread is about marine fish compatibility, I do not provide suggestions or recommendations for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that you need to develop research skills. However, if you provide a stocking list as well as tank size and maturity, I will be happy to analyze your plan for compatibility with each other and with the environment you will be providing. One source would be the Marine fish section of one of our sponsors, Dr. Foster and Smith Live Aquaria. That can be found here.
A purple firefish would be fine and should be introduced early on as they are relatively timid. Any anthias needs a larger tank and requires multiple feedings per day.

I am setting up a new 75 gallon reef using material from my existing 48 gallon reef that I have had for 15 years.
here is my stocking wish list: (I understand my tang will outgrow tank and I will be only his caretaker for a few years)
1. Yellow Tang OR Kole Tang
2. Foxface (How do I put my hand in the tank w/ him? I have kids?)
3. Fairy Wrasse
4/5 2 percula clowns
6 yellow goby
7 mandarin - (will wait to add him until new tank is established and will feed in addition to copods baby brine shrimp I will hatch for him)
8 blue spotted jawfish
9 Anthias - Ok this would be too many fish eh?

New addition question
I have a 36g bowfront live rock sump with refugium skimmer and it's got LPS and zoa and 2 ocellaris right now... I want to add a court jester goby for looks and help with any algae that might arise. Will he be ok with the clowns and not bother them wen they become big enough to reproduce.
