what fish should i get for my tank

[blind1993]

ok i am now looking for options on what fish i should get for my tank. i have a 55g reef with a yellow tang and a coral beauty angel. i had my mind set on a hippo but i want to see what my other options are. also the fish can not be too expensive as i can only buy things for the tank with money i make from the tank.

a sixline would be nice a colorful for you blind and cheaper and easier to care for than a hippo.

 

[blind1993]

yea those are nice. did you sell yours victor?

 

[ericmcj31]

get you a couple of bangaii cardinals--or a flame angel (I guess it would work with your other angel)

 

[victor626nj]

yeah i got rid of both of mine blind sorry

i do not want to take the risk of losing my coral beauty.

A royal grama would be nice. A dotty back or a jaw fish are nice additions. A blenny is a good choice. Two tangs in a 55... would not be my first choice on tank mates.

 

[blind1993]

what about a foxface lo? or a pair of firefish

 

[xyzpdq0121]

Fox face might get a bit cramped in your 55 with a yellow tang... firefish would be fine...

how about a pair of clowns really easy to care for

 

[blind1993]

i had clowns, i want something i have not had.

dude you should get a baby hammerhead shark. As long as your tank is at least 40g it will be perfect.

a school of chromis

 

[blind1993]

oh that will definatly work! a hammerhead

i though about chromis but i have heard that the schools tend to die most of the times. i would like a fish that i do not have to worry about and eats alage and mysis.

Christmas Wrasse is my vote. Relatively cheap, unique, eats pests and very pretty.
