Comments on my stocking?

BigFisher · 02/13/2008, 11:07 AM

Hello everyone... I have a 55g tank that is setup for FOWLR.

55 lbs of LR, crushed coral substrate, and a couple of powerheads.

Current community consists of:

1 Clarks Clownfish
1 6-lined Wrasse
1 Spanish Hog
1 Korean Angel Fish
1 Tang

5 Snails
1 Electric Blue hermit crab
1 Cleaner Shrimp
1 Horseshoe crab

Any comments? Should I add to the cleanup crew? If so - what. Thanks.

you mean koran angel? also, tangs will tend to out-grow 55G over time ... plan ahead for that

you really can't add any fish as far as clean up crew does your tank need it is there is there alot of algae
and with the tang not sure what kind you have but you will either need to get a bigger tank or sell the fish the tang and the Korean Angel but depends on how fast they grow my tang and emperor angel only grew an inch in one year
i love how people yell about tangs in a tank thats to small some how the large angels get over looked

The Koran Angel, Hogfish and Tang are all fish that need much more room than a 55 gallon tank.
