1 angle emeroe or poters--- what do you think would be better

1 wrasser- i want to add 2 six lines or 2 reef safe ones what do you recomend

1 blue hippo tang

1 a pair of clown fish-

IS there anything wrong with my list and in what order would you add them

My tank has beens et up for about a year with around 30 lbs of live rock i know i need more. I have a fluval 404 and a sump with a coralife super skimmer and a uv sterilizer.. PLEASE HELP

If you have corals, the angle may pick at them and stress them out so some caution may be required. For a 55 gal tank, I would stick with one wrasse (and I prefer the 6-line wrasse)

I also read in one of my more recent books that adding chromies should be done in odd numbers, i dont remember the reasoning behind this but i know there was a reason. I will find it and get repost later...unless anyone already knows the reason?

i originally had 3 one jumped out would adding a totally new one to the mix now be a bad thing??

[e_baer]

no, you can add a new one, just make sure it is AT LEAST the same size as the others.

Also, a blue hippo will get way too big for a 55g tank.

i only have a few comments about it.
1. the order of the fish the six lines can be very aggressive to new additions to the tank. so its best to put them in last. and putting two of them together would be a bad idea in a 55.
2.the potters angel is the better choice in my eyes. its small and pretty great for a 55.
3. you do not NEED anymore LR if you have a carbon filter in your tank. they both
4. make sure you get a small blue hippo tang. i would recommend just a yellow tail blue tang. i believe they are a little smaller at full size.
5.make sure the clowns are both added at the same time. they will be aggressive to each other if not added at the same time.

if you have any questions go ahead and shoot me a message.

Corals dont go well with angel fish. you would have to pick them over corals. and i would get a dwraft one! like the lemon peel, i really like thatone.

thats not so true... angels are often good with corals. i have had a coral beauty a eblie and some other one with a hard name haha it looks like a butterfly.

some of them will pick at very small polyps. like small button corals. but i have had mine with the leathers, frogspawn and green star. and never had any problems. but they all can more commenly get eye problems that can cause death =( thats the bad part.

(im not trying to under mind anyone on here who said otherwise)

[e_baer]

I have found they like to nip at the polyps from sps and gorgonias and the smaller polyps like those.

i think with leathers they are fine though.

e_baer, how did you get the picture next to your name???

[e_baer]

i think its under profile image.

[plecosword]

so what type of corals are angelfish safe with?

[e_baer]

i would say leathers and lps. it also depends a lot on your angel. i have a coral beauty and it is fine with all my corals. will occasionaly nip and the gorgonias, but does no damage.
