Stocking 55 gallon

[Flame Hawkfish]

Hi Everyone

I was making a new stocking list for my aquarium since my tank got hit by some disease and only one clown fish made it out alive.

So here is the stocking list
1 more clown to make a pair
1 coral beauty angel
1 green chromis
1 royal Gramma
1 tomini tang

Would that be to much of a bio load? I have live rock and a hang on filter if that helps with anything.

Thanks

Can someone please help me I really dont know if this would be too much of a bio load for my tank.



Thanks

This looks decent to me. The fish you have don't get that big except the tang at about 6"

They are recommended for a larger tank though...

When adding thr 2nd clown. Should he look for one smaller, bigger, or does that matter? Maybe someone could chime in

Stock list looks fine. The tang will eventually get to big and if you don't add the clowns together you will have a fight on your hands. ks_reeftank is right. If adding a second clown to the tank when there is a first one, its best to add a smaller one than the first. This will determine which will be male and female.

What about the Yellow-eye kole tang? Would that fit in my tank? If it could, what fish would be a better tank mate for my aquarium the Tomini tang or Kole tang.


Again Thank you :biggrin1:

I keep a kole tang in a 65 gallon tank, hes only around 2inch, alot of people would say my tank isnt big enough
Hes my favorite fish and the king of my reef

Any other comments on either tomini or kole tang? All comments help.


Thanks

I had a tomini in a 55 for about 8 months than I upgraded to my 180.
I wouldn't entirely say it was great for him but he seemed okay. But you may want to know that he now uses every square inch of my tank now. So it's really your call.

But I cant be against it when the fire department down the block has a hippo tang in their 55...

Any other experiences with a kole or Tomini tang in a 55 gallon. Or if my stocking list is ok for a 55 gallon.


Thanks for all the help so far
