Stocking fish

Great stuff reiple!

 

[quote author=MsCoral2004 link=board=Newbie;num=1101514319;start=0#0 date=11/26/04 at 16:11:59]Hi I was wondering some opinions of what fish I should get for my 55 gal tank. I have 60lbs live rock and 1 Blue devil damsel so far? Any ideas...Thanks  [/quote]

Keep the devil, there the best looking fish for the $$ and hardieness, just get some aggressive critters to go with him. If you have a real blue devil then hell need some very robust tankmates to put up with his napolien complex. I love my mandarin but he evades my eyes even in a 25 gallon reefm, and i am yet to keep one for more than 3 years (short life span). If you get a good one their facial colors are awesome, and the males have nicer fins.

 

A Strawberry Psuedochromis would do nicely with your Fiji Blue Devil Damsel Chrysyptera taupou. As said before these are one of the most beautiful damsels avialable in the hobby. The Strawberry would be a great contrast!

 

OKay..Maybe i'll wait on the manderin till I get my x-mas present...120gal. But i still gotta wait a year for the 120 to mature..  So in my 55gal, What other kinda fish should i get?  A list would be very helpful!Yes hes a true blue devil!  its a 55gal, 60lbs LR 55Lbs LS, 2 powerheads, Need a new protein skimmer..mine sucks!  Okay guys what do u think?  oh yea..1 turbo snail..other one died! and my tank is 3 months old!

 

Strawberry Psuedochromis, a Yellow Wrasse, and a pair of Maroon Clowns would give you great color contrasts.

 

okay...i'll look into those!..Gotta get a clean up crew...I have a question..if i get a cleaning crew will it take care of all the red algea i have in my tank?
