upgrade to 55g

[canti]

Hello, (first post so go easy on me! :wavehand

I just upgraded from a 29g to a 55g and right now i have the following:

1x emerald crab
3x tiny red hermit crabs (don't remember the exact name)
1x zebra hermit
3x peppermint shrimp
1x Royal Gramma
1x Perc Clown
1x Firefish

The 55g just looks a little barren on life so I would like to add just a few more things, what would you think about these?

1x Flame angel
1x sixline wrasse
3x chromis

I could live without the chromis if need be, I like to keep the bioload as low as possible

Thanks for your input!

Additions look good except the firefish will be toast. All of those can be agressive and the firefish would be picked on a lot.

The chromis are going to pick on each other. Save them and you the trouble and just go with a single fish.

Pick a more peaceful wrasse than the sixline. And you will probably end up with two or one chromis, like sunfishh said. Why not a pair of flame angels? and a fairy or flasher wrasse (if you have a lid)? Maybe a sunburst anthias?

Yes, the sixline will harass the firefish until it hides and starves. chromis will winnow down to 1 or a pair. But go slowly, you just upgraded, give your tank a chance to mature.

Thanks for the input! I have no intention to rush this along, I'll change the sixline to a flasher. I've always had a strong sentiment for catering to the species that were first into a tank so I don't want to add anything that would go after the firefish.

Thanks again!

Oh, one more thing, would there be any particular order I should add things?
