need some stocking ideas for a 55 gallon reef set up

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
flames are probably the safest bet with corals.. genicanthus angels (swallow-tail angels) are completely reef safe, but get kinda big for a 55..

coral beauties (2nd most safe), golden, nox, eibeli, and lemonpeel are ok-ish choices
 
for the other fish you found, try posting in white.. it shows up better on all backgorund colors...


Mimic lemon peal tang
:thumbsup:

Ornate wrasse
do you have a scientific name? if it's Halichoeres ornatissimus it's a-ok

Orange spotted rabbitfish
:thumbsup:

Variegated Lizardfish
:thumbsup: but will eat crustaceans and small fish

Long nosed file fish
:thumbsdown: coral nipper

Yellow Trumpetfish
:thumbsup: but like seahorses, mandarins, and pipefish are rather hard to feed and need established, LR filled tanks

Yellow headed jawfish
:thumbsup: one of my most favorite fish
 
most of the fish that big said okay too, will stay in modest sizes. Tang being that largest, im thinking around 9 inch average. jaw, trumpet and rabbit are all okay sizes, staying around 3-5 inch range i believe. Haven't done the research for sizes, just guestimations lol.
 
get the radiant lol. It adds great color to the tank and also great activity. Mine never bothers the other fish i have and eats very well. Provide at least 3 inchs of sand because the like to burrow at night.
 
no the rabbit's going to get about 9-12inches i would really only keep it in a 75 just for the added turning radius..
and depending what side of the fence you are on the tang as well
 
hey guys (this is smurph, im at my friends house) i have a 75 gallon tank with more "agressivei fish" that i would be able to put the rabbit in when it is needed.

i just went up to the fish store and they have a pair of maroon clowns for 85. pretty good deal right??
 
they are a true pair?
or it's 2 for $85?

and they aren't goldstripes? how big are they
