58 gallon tank

[idgy]

Would you say that 6 small to medium fish is too many for 58 gallons?

Would like to have:

firefish, two clowns, royal gramma, flame angel, fridmani or maybe sleeper head gobies, 2 or 3 shrimp and a linckia starfish, some different kinds of polyps and mushrooms, maybe an anemone.


I am pushing the limits?


Tank has been up for close to two years.

I think 6 small to medium (more towards small) would be fine; but it's the mix that might bicker.

Thanks for the input. What fish might bicker?

 

[jesshimom]

Well the clowns would be ok, but I'm thinking the friedmani, gramma and firefish would bicker as they are all kinda cranky and territorial as the clowns can be. I'm sure others with have an opinion, just what I've noticed with mine over the years.

i think its sounds pretty good i know my gramma is very agro and i do keep a lankia star and would say its not wise to use mj style pumps as if they get a slight deitres they will crawl over them and can get damanged very easily mine lost a small section of skin to a pump and has only just finished healing after 6months
when i add any new coral or rock (all rock is nicely seeded with lots of coraline) the star fish will be all over it for a week then move on
mine also has 6 legs so if u see another 6 legged one let me know

My female Oscellaris(SP?) Clown is very cranky!! That little sucker nips me when I'm cleaning the glass or moving things around. It doesn't hurt but it sure gets your attention when your not paying attention In my 54 I have a Pasor Angel, Fox Face, Hippo, 2 Clowns, Fire Fish, Cleaner Wrasse, Dottyback Coco Worm, Rose Anenome, star polyps, zoa's and lots of hermit crabs and snails. They have all been in there for over a year now with no problems.
