Stocking a 55


I want to stock my 55 here is what is in there now :

yellow headed sleeper goby
lawn mower blennie
pencil Urchin
black Brittle star
green Brittle star
Emerld crab
5 small hermits
10 misc snails
2 polyp coverd rocks

I kinda want to unload maybe trade to a local reefer the fish and Urchin and stars right now and wait a little longer to stock the tank.

The only reason I have the fish is I bought that 37 gallon tank and the guy gave them to me. I still feel I should have waited a few more weeks to put fish in. Worried the tank might cycle .


Thanks for your help

Scott

i know the tang police may get me for this, but i had great luck with a Kole tang and a blenny of your choice. i kept these two fish for years without any problems in a standard 55. the Kole is a great algae eater. i still have the Kole tang, 5yrs now. i would run into problems with my system if i had more than 2 fish in it. the tang is a medium sized fish so it is a fairly large bioload. i like bi-colour blennies.

I second the Kole Tang. I have one in my 55 and he's done great (granted, I've only had him about 3 months). I also have a lawnmower blennie thats been great and a lot of fun to watch.
