    Hello!

    So I am starting to conjure what fish I would like in my 55 gallon tank...

    I have about 35 pounds of live rock, and a 4 inch live sand base.

    I am pretty sure I am going to have a fish only tank but, I might get coral one day (but right now I have those bumblebee snails... They would eat it!)

    I was thinking of getting a Maroon clown, a fire fish, a racoon butterfly, and a goby of some sort... This would be spaced out obviously...

    Would this work out?

    I use this for checking compatibility. There are always exceptions to every rule, but it's a good starting place. Others will probably eventually chime in with similar combos that you are considering.

    All that you have chosen are reef safe except the butterfly. So if you are going to keep corals, you may want to choose another......The maroon, goby and firefish are cool.

    If I were to add an Angel fish into the mix, would that be OK too?
