Suggestions for stocking 55 fish only

[smwaits]

So far I know I want an occy clown pair, a fire fish, and a flame angel. Any ideas as to what else would go well? I like lots of color. Also any suggestions as to the order I should introduce. I have read the flame angel should be the last introduced.

I'd add a Valentini Puffer and/or some kind of wrasse (not a 6-line though).

The flame angel will be the biggest fish and can be semi-aggressive but they aren't that bad.

Yeah I had already decided to stay away from a 6 line.

I LOVE the dogface puffers too. But not in a 55. Those guys get HUGE.

I never really checked because I knew I wanted a Reef. But if I was to go fowler it would have to be big enough for one or I wouldn't do it. LOL

firefish are easily bullied and jumpers as well, you will need a completely covered tank

Edit: never had a flame but ive had a coral beauty and loved it, dont know if their temperment is similar or not.

There's part of me that would start a FOWLR tank just</em> to have a puffer. I love those things.

Lots of cool butterflys out there. Auriga is one of my favorites. Never had one just seen a few.
