if one of my 55 gallon freshwater tanks become availiable what would be a good idea for stocking i already have a 20 gallon nano reef started so idk if id want anything that small in a 55 like a small firefish or neon goby i was thinking bigger would a flame anglefish be alright and a sixline wrasse a domino damsel and maybe 2-3 other fish like a few anthias?
 
That amount of fish would be fine but you are choosing some super aggressive fish . With the flame angel if you are doing corals it's a 50/50 shot if the will nibble on em fire fish and neon gobies would be fine. Anthias should be ok but I'd stick with smaller species unlike a sunburst if you want a herem. Six lines Ime are aggressive I've heard different accounts but most em you read will say they are agressive. Domino damsels can also be territorial so add him last
 
i meant i didnt want anything too small like a firefish or neon goby but is there like one fish that gets like 6-7 inches i could get and then the rest of the fish get like 4-5?
