Reccomend a stocklist for me

Drewbaby · 05/13/2011, 08:30 PM

My girlfriend says the tank needs more fish. Currently the only resident is a green chromis and a few hermits. My stealth heater took out the other fish, snails, and shrimp so I'm open to offers for individual fish or whole stocklists. This is a 55 gallon reef tank so reef safe recommendations would be preferred.

The filtration is a penguin HOB 350 power filter and 10% weekly water changes. Will be adding a prizm hang on skimmer that I got for free just to help pull out some gunk.

do you have LR

Well my stocking plan is,

2 clowns any type of pair but may go for the common perc.
watchman goby
bi colour blenny
Yellow Stripe Clingfish
Cherub Angelfish - may not be reef safe but seems to be a hit or miss fish. If you do decide, then stock it in last because of their aggression.

Fire shrimp
Cleaner shrimp
Pistol Shrimp
Urchin depending on if the cling fish doesn't cope without one.

I was going to go for a shoal of chromis but a change of plan.

Hope that helps.

Yes I have live rock. The tank is a full grown out reef.

if you want angel, try the pigmy angel they are colorful yet small and very active.
I have had great success with , yellow, blue, purple ..most common TANGS, very nice display and always moving around
Six line Wrasses , Hawkish (fun to watch)
gobies ! Yes, watchman goby, fun and entertaining
pepermint Shrimps , crabs, cucs also add life, but they could hide during the day!

Try a few at a time. not all at once! and see how your tank shapes up

I would get either a coral beauty or multi color angel in there along with a few more chromis.

If your LR is mature get a Flame angel, longnose hawkfish, Royal gramma, Clownfish, CUC. and than get 4 fire shrimp the more fire shrimp you get the more they come out. just make sure you add them all at the same time and you get them from the same tank.
