55 gallon stock list

bonbon · 03-24-2006, 01:43 PM

55 gallon
apx. 60 lbs LR ( Figi & Marshall Island )
apx 1" LS
AC 70 HOB
2X Maxi Jet 1200 head
AC Remora HOB w/ Maxi Jet 1200

I currently have:

1 Fox Face
2 Ocellaris Clownfish
1 Yellowtail Blue Damsel fish

I was wondering if I can safely add (without overstocking):

1 Raccoon Butterflyfish OR a Auriga Butterflyfish
2 more Yellowtail Blue Damsel fish
2 more Clownfish

I have already researched the compatibility of the fish.

And I understand certain Damsels are mean and cannot be mixed, however I believe the Blue yellow tail variety like the company of their own kind.
Thank you,
-Tina

i would drop the damsels and go with blue/green chromis as they are much more tank friendly, other then that i dont know about putting two pairs of clowns in a tank that size

If it's two more clownfish of the same species and they're all small, then you should be good. If it's a pair from another species, though, I'd avoid it in a small tank. Otherwise, I think you're good. My 55 has a similar load, with more coral.

Oh O.k.
Thanks!
I love the Damsels' color.
I think I'll put in the Clownfish next, then the Damsels and the Butterfly last.
