55g Stocking Ideas

[JTremonte]

When I planned on my 55g tank, I was for sure planning on only 6 fish total. Then stride into coral.

My current stock plan consisted of

2 Ocellaris Clownfish
1 Diamond Watchman Goby
1 Royal Gramma (QT)

However I still can not decide on 2 more.

Like I said I plan on Coral so I prefer reef safe.

Also are cleaner shrimps considered into the Bioload?

I have Turbo Snails, Astrae Snails, and a handful of hermit crabs but they basically clean up their mess.

Cleaner shrimp would be fine and I wouldn't count toward bioload

Mabye a wrasse or dwarf hogfish?

 

[JTremonte]

Appreciate it. I didn't think it would, however wanted to confirm

 

[JTremonte]

How are the wrasses with reefs? Any to avoid?

I'd avoid the six line wrasse as they can be bullies, melanurus and yellow coris wrasse are reef safe with caution- might eat small shrimp and snails if they're flipped over but so far mine has been a model citizen.
