I have a 55g 48" marine tank (pure fish atm), set up with an Eheim 2215 cannister filter, and Red Sea Hang-On skimmer (which I'm thinking of replacing).
It's been up for about two to three months now, fully cycled. Fish wise I have a Red Saddle / Fire Clown (love him, even though he happens to be a little fish with a big ego :lol, two Sergeant Major Damsels (that I used to cycle the tank - I wasn't aware there were alternatives at the time), a Coral Angel Beauty and Milk Sleeper Goby (thinking this particular Goby might go by another name as I haven't found all that much info on him, but that's what my LFS sold him to me as).
I can return the Damsels anytime (though they haven't chased anyone around since I put the Clown in the tank), but I'm looking for some good tank mates for the other fish (I'm into smaller fish mostly, and I don't know if I'll go reef sometime down the line).
I remember being told Red Saddles are generally only aggressive to other fish of similar body types (doesn't seem far from the truth, mine completely ignores my Coral Beauty and Goby but chases the Damsels around like nothing else).
I was originally looking at Anthias, but after reading up on them it looks like my 55g isn't nearly enough.
My LFS recommended Cardinals, Tangs, Dragon Wrasse, and Coral Catfish (I hear they sting). Any others I might consider?
Last question, can Red Saddles be paired? Always wanted two... but assuming it'd be dangerous.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
