Fish stocking question

Saquan22 · 04/24/2014, 06:09 PM

I have a 55 fowlr but would soon like to add corals. My question is I have two clowns a firefish a six line wrasse and a yellow watchman goby with some crabs and snails. Am I over stocked, just right or can I add more. There is absolutely no aggression. My firefish and watchman burrow together and eat habits are great. I would like to add a hippo tang(yes I know they require a larger tank) I plan on upgrading to a 75 or 90 in the near future.

you could add more depending on the type of fish, but not a hippo you will need a much bigger tank than even the 75 or 90 for one.

blenny's, cardinal's, dwarf angel (if you wanna try one with corals, alot of people have decent luck with them though)

Skip on the Six Line for they can be bullies. Why not a pink Streaked Wrasse instead. Looks similar in coloration and in size but more peaceful.
