Upgrading to a 50 Cube, Working on a Stock List

reret10 · 10/27/2018, 03:37 PM

Hey guys,

So I recently decided to upgrade my old 30 gallon to a nice sleek 24*24*20 SCA 50 gallon cube and I'm thinking about adding some more fish.
Currently I have:
1 Bangaii Cardinal
1 Watchmen Goby
1 Clown goby

It's pretty minimal for a 30 gallon so I'm thinking when I upgrade I might get

2 clowns
chalk bass
pygmy Angel

First off, Does that sound good for a 50 cube? obviously I'll add them in over time as to not to shock the tank, especially when it's still new but this is my tentative plan. I've also heard that pygmy Angels are a little hit or miss with corals. I think I'll just keep my eye out and if he gets a bit nippy I have a friend with a FOWLR who would gladly accept him. Otherwise does this look good? Are there any other super cool fish worth considering? I'm open to anything that isn't yellow (I have a watchmen goby and a yellow clown goby)

Thanks!

Royal gramma, ok, so that's purple and yellow, does that count?
If your Rock is mature, a mandarin maybe.
How about a nem for your clowns, make it a pair, worth it, but might sting a few corals until settled.
