    Hey, my tank has a real fast and heavy current, and i was wondering what fish and corals for that matter love large currents. I want a fish that will swim through it all the time. The tank is a 55 gallon and i will be upgrading to a larger tank again so baby tangs would be alright. I don't want to buy a fish just yet, but I want to get some real good ideas before actually attend to it.

    Thanks, sterling

    Anthias love strong currents, but they love swimming space so I would only keep a single male in a 55 or just wait until you upgrade. They can be a pain to take care of though. Also most chromis like strong currents. A lot of people hear have fish who "surf" on their tank currents. Mine do.:)

    SPS corals and Tangs love water flow.

    Moved to fish board as it is a fish question. Would be helpful to split these questions up and put corals on coral board.
