    I dont think 3 clowns will get along together. At least when I had 3 they didnt. I would go to liveaquaria and look to see what you like. JMPO

    your tank is already overstocked. if you dont want to get rid of anyfish then wait for a while and make sure your tank can handle that much of a bio load if so then some good fish would be a sixline wrasse, flasher wrasse, fire fish, some sort of goby. a good place to look is liveaquaria.com

    How can you make that assumption? We don't know what size tank that's in.

    Yep, tang is gonna get big. I think the only tang really suitable for a 55G is a tomini (check me on that, never had one... just from what I hear) and the tank needs to be 48" for swimming room.

    Flame angel probably wouldn't go well with the tang and the three clowns. Could be ok for a while, but once the clowns grow and tang grow there is going to be a lack of territory.

    And, as said earlier, probably want to trade in one of those clowns.

    I think a firefish would be a nice addition, but I would take care of the overstocking issue first.
