    I have a 50gallon FOWLR. So far 45lbs of rock a pincushion urchin lemon peel angel and a juvenile Volitan. Before you say anything, I know my Volitan is huge and I have a friend that wants to rehouse it to a 250 when it outgrows mine. I'm looking for good tank mates to go with my already established group. Most sites only post a minimum tank size making it hard to narrow down size restrictions. Any suggestions for good tank mates?

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    That is a hard one because of the Lemon Peel, you may have to remove the Angel to the sump or acclimation box to let other fish acclimate to the tank. I hope that is not the case, but Lemon Peels are pretty darn territorial. Stay away from other Angels and yellow fish.
    Some Wrasse types will work, Cardinals, Damsels, larger Gobies. You could try a pair of Maroon Clowns.
    What fish types interest you?

    Scorps triggers puffers... All the fish to big for my 50. So I got more one lion that after rehoming will become a dwarf zebra or fuzzy. So basically my girlfriend picks ones that are pretty or ones like on nemo. Would the lion bother clowns or would it be ok if they paired with an anemone

    My brother and I are planning a build for a 250 reef and a 300 pred tank that I can put the fish I like in them. Just in the finance phase right now. So the 50 is basically for my girlfriend and I just run it. Can't have anything that resembles a snake.
