    My yellow tang died like 1 week ago :cry:
    So I want to buy a new fish, I currently have a 55G (4 Feet Long) with 1 baby hippo tang, 2 clownfish, 1 green chromis, 1 forktail blenny, 1 yellow tail damsel & 1 spotted mandarin. BTW they are all still very small & I'm going to upgrade in like 1 year.
    So any ideas?

    I would go small. Maybe a six line wrasse or some other reef safe wrasse. If you really plan to upgrade in a year then you may want to hold off so you can replace your Tang when you move up.

    I have a 55 also and have seven fish right now and wouldn't feel comfortable adding anymore.

    I would not.

    Could be done though depending on your filtration and if you're serious about an upgrade. Other than a tang, maybe you could go with a fairy wrasse if you want something nice :D

    Your tank is pretty packed, so I would go with something small. I like royal grammas, so I will suggest that. Also, a small flasher wrasse would be nice.
