55 gallon stock

hello i have a reef tank and i want to get a new fish
my current stock
-4 blue green chromis
-scopas tang
fish i like
-tomato clownfish
-scooter blenny
-yellowtail damsel
-foxface
-dwarf angel( if reef safe)
-lamark angel
-any suggetions
thanks for your input

 

The chromis are fine, but the tank is too small for any tank to live comfortably long term, so I would advise getting rid of the scopas tang. The foxface will be too big for that tank as well, and the lamarck angel might outgrow it, although there are plenty of dwarf angels that would fit. Other than that, any of the other fish on the list will work, although if you don't have a refugium a scooter blenny will likely starve in that tank size.

By the way, welcome to 3reef.

 

Welcome to 3reef.

Chromis make good schooling fish(generally) a small group wil be good in a 55, but not a lot. 4-5 is fine. I think they ere kind of unerrated i the hobby.

I would remove the scopas tang if you plan to have this 5 gallon tank long term. tangs get rather large. I believe the scopas gets about 9".

I love dwarf angels, but they are not reef-safe fish. It's a toss-up with them. Some people have angels that have nipped at clam mantels and ate coral. But others have had no problems at all.

I am not sure about the angel - many will nip at coral and clams just like you see with dwarf angels.

Foxfaces can be reef-safe, depending which species you get.

damsels can be come agressive over their territory once they become mature, but if you really one one...

Tomato clowns can be aggressive fish as well...beautiful though. Perhaps you should have a semi-aggressive tank..that seems like what most of your fish are.

A scooter blenny is peaceful fish a god choice if you don't want the semi-aggressive fish. Though I am not sure how well, it will be able to defend itself.

 

Do you have Pics.

 

my tank doesnt have any coral yet bu im getting my first frag tommorow

 

pic ain't working... lamrack angels need bigger tanks. scooters are hard to care for. tomatoes get BIG and aggressive foxface may work if it's a one spot.my stocking list ...
4 chromis
1 dwarf angel fish
2 clown fish(not tomatoes)

 

I had a foxface for a while and it was a lot bigger than my yellow tang. I wouldn't put a foxface in a tank below 75-90 gallons.

 

some angels will eat your corals though.

 

it's a 50\50 chance ...
