Stocking Fish Tank

[Braden Dhillon]

I have a 50 gallon reef tank
I want to have:
5 or 6 chromis
2 Clownfish(Occeralis)
1 watchman goby
1 or 2 cleaner shrimp
1 pistol shrimp
3 blue legg hermit crabs

When it is cycled and ready to go, the list looks okay except the chromis. Honestly, I have not had luck with these guys not picking themselves off until only one remains. I would maybe go firefish or a dottyback instead.

Are you sure because the are pretty peaceful if they are kept in big enough schools of 5-6 to properly establish their hiechary.

I had a problem with 6 in my 90. Got dropped down to 3 very quickly.

I heard the same thing with them and opted to go with three zebra barred dart fish. They swim together and sleep together. Really neat bunch lol.

What size tank? I was thinking about 3 zebra barred dartfish for my IM Lagoon 50 to start it off.
