fish that is kept well in groups??

Yeah the wrasses are very active but you can only get one if im not mistaking.Like every one else has mentioned the chromis are going to be your best bet.Get atleast 4-5.

 

dude you can have multiple wrasses in a tank. not really the same like a school,unless they are a mated pair, but all different ones.

and firefish IMO don't really swim all that much.

 

Ill look into wrasse thanks. And agreed on the fire fish had one in old tank and it never did anything but chill on a rock

 

Blue reef chromis could be an option. Not the normal blue-green chromis. Check liveaquaria to see what im talking about. They can be kept singly or in groups, and from what I've read if you add 3 or more at the same time they wont pick the population down. I have one (along with other fish of course) in my 29 and very active & peaceful fish. Should I ever do another tank several would be on the potential stocking list.

 

Theres a reason for this........Adding more fish will only make it worse.IMO

 

that doesn't make it right.

 

Hmmm I have plenty of room still half the tank sits empty

 

If it were me, I'd consider what you have more than enough bio-load for a 55 reef. Adding more fish isn't going to help anything.

 

You're close to your fish limit. Looking to add a school of fish isn't the best direction. You would be better off with a small, active fish.

 

your really close to your fish limit, i think the only way you could have a school of fish is if you got rid of a couple of your larger fish. as for tangs its really a touchy subject, its possible to keep one tang in a 55 gallon tank but most suggest a 75 gallon minimum for a yellow tang. alot of tangs the min. size tank is alot larger.

i would say your best bet is chromises but your tank would be pretty overstocked if you had a school of 5-6. like i said your best bet if youw ant a school is to remove a few fish. the foxface will limit you a ton. a 55 gallon is a bit of a tight fit for that little fella.
