So, my husband and I are wanting to get 1 or 2 more fish. I'll give parameters and what we have successfully kept so we can get better, more informed options.
We have a 55 gallon FOWLR. 4 foot long by 1 foot 9 inches tall.
82 degrees (slowly getting back down to 78 after a temp spike)
0 Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, and Copper.
40 lbs live rock.
The tank has been up and running for over 2 years. We just ended a 78 day fallow period on it and moved our fish from our 29g into it.
Currently calling it home are:
1 Gladiator clown
1 Black & White Ocellaris
1 6 dot sleeper goby
1 Firefish
1 Diamond Watchman Goby
1 Redheaded Goby
1 I don't know for sure blenny or goby (chill temperament)
Random amount of hermits and 1 tulip snail.
Last but not least, our featherduster.
So all of these fish get along splendidly. They lay on each other, swim together. We have successfully kept a Huma Trigger (did re-home when he outgrew our tank). The next fish on this list died during our velvet outbreak about 87 days ago but we did have them for almost 2 years until then. A dwarf white spotted Hawaii puffer, a flame Fin tomini tang, a coral beauty angel, a percula and midnight clown.
We've spoken of getting a mandarin dragonet. We have a natural population of munnid isopods we recently discovered but we also know we would need to cultivate copepods to successfully keep a mandarin. We've also discussed a flame angel.
We are totally open to suggestions and willing to amend any ideas for the safety and health of our current fish and any fish to be. Open to any suggestions.
Thank you in advance!
