Hi I have a 55 gallon FOWLR tank and I have most of the fish I want in quarantine but I was wondering if I could get more. I don’t want to overstock my tank though so can you help me figure out if I should still get the other fish I want or just stick with the ones I have. I already have 2 fancy ocellaris clowns, 2 banggai cardinals, 1 orchid Dottyback and 1 medium size flame angel. That’s only 6 fish and they are all currently living in a 29 gallon quarantine tank that looks empty most of the time.
Do you think I could get 1 more banggai cardinal that way I can eventually have 3 in my 55 gallon. Also do you think there is also room left for 3 green chromis I don’t need them but they would be nice to have. Over all if I got the additional fish I wanted that would add up to 10 fish. I do also have inverts in my 55 gallon, I have 2 scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp, 3 turbo snails and 6 blue legged hermits. Do you think my tank would me over stocked. I have two 70 gallon hang on back filters and a cheap protein skimmer big enough for a 75 gallon tank that has yet to break in as my main filtration. My tank is also 5 months old with 40 lbs of what was dry rock but is now live and 35 lbs of sand.
