Reef-safe fish suggestions for a 50 gallon tank?

[richardhmc]

Hi, I'm looking to stock up my tank with some fishies. At the moment I have a cleaner shrimp, and 3 clowns. With snails and hermit crabs if you count the cleaner crew.

In the end, I will end up with only a pair of clowns. Any suggestions to fish I could keep? Thanks!

Some wrasse and gobies will do. How big is the tank?

I say get a blue spotted jaw.. everyones favorite

Firefish, Royal Gramma, chalk bass, bangai cardinal, neon/cleaner gobies, shrimp gobies, jawfish (if you have a deep sandbed), McCosker fairy wrasse, etc.

Depends on size of fish.

Do you have a cover on your tank? Do you have a sand bed, if so how deep is it & what type of substrate? Tell us about you setup and it will help determine what fits your unique aquarium.

Jaw fish and wrasses jump, so you need a cover...I l;love wrasses, I will suggest a few if you have a cover.

I do have a cover, and I have a deep sandbed.

I already have a mandarin and two baby clowns
