my tank of 07'

[mattistat]

well i plan on setting up a 55 gallon salt water tank in the near futer and i want to have some i deas for stalking and here are some of the fish i like
(i know i wont beable to have all of them)
algae blenny
yellow tail damsel
citrinis clown goby
fire fish
coral beauty
ocellaris clownfish
neon blue goby
red fairi anthias
Royal gramma
kadern's cardnal
green mandarin
dusky jawfish
six line wrasse
and
blue star lepord wrasse

 

[CAPSLOCK]

I would pull the damsel off the list, they don't really get along with anything and are evil little fish. Also, I believe the blue star leopard wrasse is very difficult to keep (someone correct me if I'm wrong), but look into the fairy wrasses because they're very colorful, peaceful, and easy to keep.

also lose the mandarin at least until your tank is up and running for a long time as they need a good sized pod population to support.

 

[mattistat]

thats it i can have all the other fish? i dont know.

 

[Joe Fish]

I think that would be a tad too many. In my 55 I have the algae blenny, fire fish, true percs, coral beauty, and yellow watchman goby. Jawfish usually need a relatively established tank and a a few inches of sand to dig in. I agree with the comments on the damsels and mandrin.

 

[mattistat]

1 algae blenny
1 citrinis clown goby
1 coral beauty
2 ocellaris clownfish
2 neon blue goby

why? thats not what i want maby.

 

[burtoncb47]

no i didnt mean u have to i meant to say IMO cuz i think its awesome how they form a pair!!!!

 

[mattistat]

well i dont want them and thats not my question lol

but does the clean up crew count or dos that matter?
do anenmys cange my selection too?
i also want it to be a reef.

 

[burtoncb47]

some anenomes can matt but u probably dont want my advice anyways cuz u think im so dumb

 

[Joe Fish]

My goby and blenny to fine together, but that's not to say yours will. I think the selection you have above would be ok. They are generally small fish.

 

[mattistat]

ok you just put yourself down but it would be nice for some actual help.....

 

[mattistat]

what if i added the blenny last and had it start as the smallest fish?

 

[Joe Fish]

I don't think you'll have an issue with the blenny. I think you should be ok with anemone with your fish selection.

 

[mattistat]

what woud let me not have an anenomy? its confusing. would fish kill it?

 

[TRe]

still sounds a little over stocked

 

[burtoncb47]

anenomes can be aggressive (thats what i heard)
