Advice on improving saltwater tank

[Kulafu]

Hey everyone, I currently have a small half black angelfish, two clownfish, and one chromis in my saltwater fish tank. I was hoping to add coral soon and maybe more fish! Do you think corals will be fine with the fish I currently have, and any suggestions for more fish and corals to add in my 36g tank? Thank you.

Bigger tank for the angelfish...

I do plan on expanding, I meant to say dwarf in my statement. Sorry about that. Not a normal angelfish!

Yes, even a 36-gallon tank is too small for a dwarf angelfish. You want at least 50-60 gallons.

Ah, I see. I was not aware of that since the fish store I usually go to have told me since it was smaller it would be fine in my 36gallon but thank you for letting me know. I do plan on expanding to a 55g or higher within the next few months.

They can easily reach 3" in length within a year, and they need a lot of swimming room.

Avoid a 55g at all costs if u can. Worst footprint for a saltwater system. If u want a 4 ft tank get a 60 breeder or a 75g

And may limit coral options. Like zoas or lps

I think I might consider trading it for another fish or sell it. Any advice for finding trades or selling it? I lack experience with that.

You should be fine in the short-term. If you're planning to upgrade anyway it shouldn't be an issue.
