Take a look at my stocking plan

[Fish_King_25]

If you are insistent on pushing the bioload and you think you have good enough filtration then go ahead and try it...we've all seen people go against the grain, and keep the unkeepable together...but please don't attempt it with a CBB. Were all in this hobby because we love fish, don't take a fish that should almost never be removed from the wild as is, and force it into a 55g.

This is good advice I think. Tons of reasons to skip the copperband. I think pushing stocking limits is fine if the fish are compatible with each other and the tank size.

I also submit is not about number of fish per se. I currently have 18 fish in my 75 and it's a peaceful and healthy tank.

I definitely disagree. My 75 has 8 fish and all are relatively small. Small Alien, i looked at ur info and most ur fish are small. Ur tank must be really interesting with those goby's. Is it a reef? Quovadis is pushing it. Good luck tho. I do hope u take Fish King's advice CBB's are really delicate. Also, i will revise my previous comment--definitely no tang in a 55.
