Hello everybody I'm new to the saltwater community I have a 55 gallon setup with about 100 lbs of live rock and I have
2 ocellaris clowns

1 yellow tang
1 sailfin tang
2 purple anthias
1 mandarin goby

You have way to many fish for a 55. Tangs aloe are overkill

so I guess adding another one is out the question

Yeah. I think it's time to upgrade or start removing.

I have a 125 freshwater I'm in the process of selling all of the fish so I can convert to salt the 55 was a starter(testing the water)

Yea you are running out of room fast my friend!

To answer your question though, if you added them at the same time it might be ok but because the CB has setup territory already it would be trouble. Especially in a tank that size!

Whoever is advising you regarding your stocking choices is giving terrible advice. Your tank is much to small to house several of the fish you currently have. Those tangs need much</em> larger tanks. Also, the mandarin needs an established source of copepods or amphipods on which to feed. The purple anthias, are they tukas? If so, those are considered expert only fish.

If you can upgrade to your 125 gallon tank this will buy you some time. However, the hippo and sailfin will still need a larger tank than that eventually. Please do the best thing for your fish and buy livestock that is suitable for the environment you can currently provide, not one you may upgrade to at a later time.

Good luck with your tank.
