Fish for my 50g

Oliver Nivbrant · #1 07/12/2005, 07:24 AM

I have a 4ft 50g reef. I currently have a mated pair of ocellaris, 1 coral beauty and 1 six line wrasse. I am wanting more fish.

I am getting a fox face and 1 leopard wrasse, I had a foxface that just died.

I am getting a 30g sump this week so then I will have 80g of water to stock, any ideas of small, colour full fish.

Thanks alot for any help

I wouldn't put a lot more than 2 ocellaris, 1 CB, 1 6-line, 1 Foxface and 1 Leopard Wrasse. Maybe a small goby or 2 but you're hovering around bioload capacity really.

I have 2 Clarkii's, 2 Gobies and a Coral Beauty in mine. I'm putting a yellow tang in there for a few months but only because I'm building a house with an in-wall 250g. Certainly won't add any other fish and I bet your foxface is bigger than my tang.

the 6 line will probably kill the Leopard Wrasse. or stress it out by chasing it.

In my opinion, a 50 gallon is too small for a foxface. It will easily out grow the tank, even though it is four feet long. Also, incase you are planning on putting fish in your sump, you only have 50 gallons of water to stock.

a 50g tank is 36" long

My 50G tank has the same dimentions as a 55, but it is a little shorter (I have 2 of these tanks).

4 feet*13.5 inches * I forget the hight.
