Has anyone experienced this little guy?

Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Chalk Bass

Just want to know if they give any problems with corals?

 

[Innovator]

No, the aren't interested in corals. They do best in small harems, 5+, and tend to hover just above the substrate.

They do best in small harems, 5+

? What does that mean? They do better with 5 or more Chalk Bass in the Tank?

 

[Innovator]

Yes, a harem is a group of fish that shoal together and usually of the same species (think anthias). Chalk bass can be shy, which is why 5 or more is optimal.

Would that be a good for a 55? I already have 2 O clowns?

 

[Innovator]

You wouldn't be even close to overstocking the tank, if that's what you mean? 5 chalk bass would be just fine.

I am just trying to limit the number of Fish I have in my Tank.. I want to Get a Flame Angel and one other

 

[Innovator]

You'd be fine with a flame angel and another fish...and another lmao...and perhaps another

I thought 6 was good enough for a 55 gallon?
