crister13 said:Every single one of your fish except the clownfish needs a tank over 2x that size. That being said, you cant keep an eel in a 55, unless you get something that is unknown. You MAY be able to keep a wolf eel but I wold say 75g. Snowflake eel=75g, black edge moray=125, and everything else pretty much. Your trigger (no matter what type it is) NEEDS A 125, your blue tang NEEDS a 125, and your coral tang????????? IDK what that is, but EVERY SINGLE TANG IN EXISTANCE NEEDS a 75 g tank. Even the smallest (tomini and kole tangs) have a minimum tank size of 75 gallons. Most others need a 125, but some are debated like the yellow tang (being able to be kept in a 75). Your lionfish, unless it is a dwarf fuzzy, dwarf zebra or fu manchu lion, is going to get around 8" and needs a 75g tank. Your clown is fine, but will get eaten by one of your extrememly aggressive fish. I would SERIOUSLY reccomend selling or giving away your fish before they DIE because of improper care. And dont add anything more, that tank is already overstocked about 3-4x what should be in it. GL in the future, and research things before you buy.

Death tank said:It's interesting to hear all of your input. But every aquarium store that we have gone to has never said anything that you(3rd person pleural) guys/girls have said. It's not that we didnt do our research but we must have got a lot of misinformation for a least 3 reputable stores. So far we have had this tank for@ 1year. With no incidents.
P.s instead of attacking newbies you might want to use a little more tac.

... seriously though, can you please take a picture of your current tank (video would be even better)? I HAVE to see this.

The tank in question is already seriously overstocked
