Any Suggestions

i have a 55 gallon tank that has 57 pounds of liverock. i have three hermit crabs, numerous snails, 1 pink tippid anemone( came on live rock), one sand sifter goby, one tomato clown fish, one sixline wrasse, orange coral polyps, and purple star polyps. i am wanting some more fish that are non-agressive. any suggestions?

Be careful with anything with the sixline, most get very territorial. How about a nice dwarf angel?

How about an orchid dottyback - they are in the shops at the moment, they tend to only be seasonly available

i thought that a yellow tang would grow to large for a 55 u.s. gallon tank?

I agree that I would not put a yellow tank in a 55g.

You can get captive bred orchids from ORA, just got some in a couple weeks at my work from them. If you want one, your LFS should be able to get one for you.

If you can keep a tang in a 55gal would it be ok to keep a baby tang in a 50 gallon if i sump it it will be probably 65 gallon.

In a UK 55g tank would be fine in a US not so. A UK 55g tank is just under 70 US gallons
