55g stocking help

[sciknen]

Hey how's it going

Well I finally got rid of my PBT so io can now stock my tank

I have in there
2 false percs

Thinking about adding
2 bangai's
Goby shrimp pair


Not sure what else though. I can probably stock It heavy because of my skimmer but no tangs

Thanks for the ideas

Looking for some color. And fish that won't eat corals

Your Mystery Wrasse hasn't wiped out the shrimp yet? Lucky you!

 

[jayman10134]

yup, he may have gotten the candy shrimp. but i like to pretend he is underneath a rock.
also, i caught him yesterday in about 15 seconds. apparently my mystery wrasse is special.

LOL! Quite special! Mine wiped out 2 large Blood Shrimp and 3 Cleaner Shrimp and an undetermined amount of Peppermint Shrimp.

I couldn't catch him with a grenade launcher!

Are copperbands reef safe?

I also need hardy fish because I don't have a qt anymore...seahorse tank

I may be getting a few gobys. But a mandarin will wip out my pods ine a few weeks

 

[jayman10134]

copperbands are generally reef safe. they are tough to get to start eating though. also they are very timid. probably to timid for your clowns.

 

[sciknen]

Okay. Would anthias be a bad idea?

 

[jayman10134]

i was thinking about trying a few in mine after getting rid of the wrasse and possibly the angel.
