aoo in two months (once my math grade is an a or b) my mom will get me a 55g. any stocking ideas?
ive highlighted problems in this. blue jaw in a 55? they get 12 inches also have a high risk in eating everything small in the tank. coral bandeds get huge too basketball size. and 10-12 fish? generally rule is about inch per 5 gallons so you got 11 inches full grown size thats pretty much just tang clowns and the gobyPair of black clowns
Kole tang
Flame Angel
A lawnmower Blenny
Watchman goby
Blue jaw trigger
3 or 5 reef chromis
25-50 hermit crabs
25 assorted snails
A pair of coral banded shrimp or fire shrimp or cleaner shrimp
so that's about 10-12 fish
+1 the kole eye would enjoy larger tanks.Kole tang probably shouldnt be in a 55g though. 75g is the bare minimum, he needs room to turn abound an swim in there.
i agree a 75g would be a better choice, you could put a good amount of fish and corals in it.
