Hello

connortheclown · Mar 3, 2020

My name’s Connor, I’m from Minnesota. I’ve had a 20g saltwater tank for over 7 years with an oscillaris clown named Nemo (of course) since I started it and other various inhabitants over the years. I joined because I often read these forums when I have questions or consider new projects, but I figured maybe a better way to do it would just be to join and ask my questions directly. I posted a thread on the fish discussion forum that didn’t get any responses so I’ll just state it here as I’d appreciate thoughts. I’m considering starting a 55g with the following occupants:

Snowflake Eel
Maroon Clown
Dwarf Lion
Longnose Hawk
Coral Beauty Angel
Wartskin Frogfish
Valentini Puffer

Thoughts on compatibility and care?

Welcome, Connor! We are glad to have you!

Regarding your stock list, will this be a fish-only system, or do you want corals and invertebrates?

Welcome Connor! I haven't personally kept any of the fish on the list. Just a couple of thoughts.
Even though they are all suitable for your tank size, you may have a pretty heavy bioload as they grow.
I would think all inverts and most corals would be out of the question.
You may have some problem feeding the frogfish with all of the other aggressive fish in the tank.
As I said, I don't have any personal experience. Hopefully someone more helpful will chime in. Glad to have you with us!
