What should the new fish be???

[irish02bk]

So i have my 55gallon setup again after the move, i've been wanting to get a new fish for a while but i didn't want to get one cause i new i was gonna move...

Anyways right now i have 35 lbs of live rock, another 25 of base about to go in (put it in quarantine for a week just to be safe)

livestock:

2 Percula's, Sixline and a pygmy angel, cleaner shrimp assorted snails and crabs. 2 zoa frags

What should be my next fish, i was thinking a blue tang but not sure if a 55 is large enough unless he's really small, gobies other suggestions?????

What do you guys suggest?

I personally like firefish. I am in the process of cycling my 55 gallon tank after having my 20 for awhile. I have 2 firefish in there with a pair of Ocellaris clowns and a royal gramma. They are all really beautiful. As far as the tang, I have heard that a 55 is just a little to small to keep them in but I have also heard people saying that they think a 6' long 220 gallon tank is too small too. So I don't know.

so one vote firefish... Any other suggestions? can you put a gobie and two fire fish together? Think thats overkill for the tank?

[mluna785]

Sure. I have two firefish in my 20 gallon tank and I plan on getting a couple more once I get my 55 cycled.

Love firefish too... i vote firefish, or royal gramma! If you are gonna go with a tang i would go with a yellow or something with the same bodytype. they do better in smaller tanks... atleast that is my expierience. I have a midas blenny that is the coolest thing ever! he is my favorite fish, lol... something like that would be nice too.
GOODLUCK!

I was thinking flame angel but you already have an angel...they may or may not get along. I have a coral beauty and a flame in a 65 gallon that live peacefully though.

I like the Royal Gramma idea too. I have one as well. I wouldn't recommend a tang. they don't really seem to do well in tanks smaller than 90 gallons.

How about a dragonette? As long as you have plenty of mature live rock with plenty of pods.

The dragonette sounds risky, I'd stick with the flame angel.
