Don't know what to stock my 56 gallon with all I have in there now is a yellow watchmen goby. I will eventually add a flame angel but don't want it now the last one beat up fish if they were added after. Any suggestions on fish would be awsome.

I have an IM30L. For fish I have a blue chromis, flametail blenny, royal gramma, purple firefish, male linespot flasher wrasse, and an oscellaris clown. I once added a second, much smaller clown..........BIG MISTAKE! I gave it away after the pair began terrorizing the tank. Now, the one clown has gone back to its love fest with the nem and all is well! I guess my only advice would be a 56 is not that big (but bigger than mine), and there is a good chance a pair of clowns could become very territorial and there is not much space in your tank for that.

My purple fire fish shares a small cave with a pistol shrimp. One of my favorites to watch

A pseudochromis. I like my Arabian pseudo but they can be aggressive though mine is well behaved. A fridmani pseudo would be my next choice and are supposed to be much more docile.
