55 gallon saltwater tank

[joeseeypuhn]

So currently I have 55 gallon community tank consisting of:

2 ocelerios clownfish
1 Midas blenny
1 decorator crab
1 bubble tip anemone
1 yellow stripe goby
1 chocolate chip sea star


I was wondering wether or not this is to much fish. If not would I be able to add something like a long nose hawkfish. Oh and this tank has been up and running for 7 months now. Thank you in advance.

Thats not too many fish. Although if ur going in a reef direction chocolate chip stars arnt reef friendly if.not then u should be good

 

[joeseeypuhn]

Yay! and I found that out about 2 months after I bought it but I don't regret the purchase

 

[joeseeypuhn]

Any thoughts on the hawkfish?

 

[ReeferRookie]

Should be okay. They like to eat pods tho

 

[joeseeypuhn]

How do I check if I have enough in my though? Thanks for your help so far

Sry I ment how do I check if I have enough of them in my tank

 

[ReeferRookie]

Well he doesnt live just on pods hell eat ne u have tho. So if u have other animals who depend on them.for food it wouldnt be good. Just by looking really no.real.way to tell

 

[joeseeypuhn]

Ohh sry I thought they were like mandarin gobies. Thank you so much I think I'll get one in a month or 2 after researching more

 

[ReeferRookie]

I think the hawk should be ok. Have you ever thought about a flamehawk - they have amazing color.

 

[joeseeypuhn]

I read that they were aggressive though

 

[ReeferRookie]

They are as long as u dont have another agressive fish it should.be ok

 

[joeseeypuhn]

My Midas blenny seems pretty aggressive though Atleast compared to my other fish. It used to pick on the clown fish ( not anymore though).

 

[ReeferRookie]

My chromis picked on my recently added rose bulb anem. Think it realize its mistake

 

[joeseeypuhn]

Lol

 

[joeseeypuhn]

Oh I almost forgot. Currently I'll my fish are trained to eat out of my hand ( not including the anemone and crab) would this be possible with the hawkfish?

 

[joeseeypuhn]

I was also thinking about a yellow eye tang. Is my tank to small for one?
