:sigh: this is why my parents should let me get a bigger tank. I wanted to start a 150+ but i need to clear some things out.

well i could be wrong but here is a list of the fish that are in that tank with the max size of the fish:

Flounder Size: Up to 14 inches
Scooter Blenny Size: Up to 5 inches
Tomini Tang Size: Up to 6 inches
Mandarin Goby Size: Up to 4 inches
Purple Firefish Size: Up to 3.5 inches
Diamond Goby Size: Up to 6 inches
Copperband Butterfly Size: Up to 8 inches
School of Coral Catfish Plotosus lineatus Size: Up to 12 inches
2 True Percs Size: Up to 3 inches
Vermiculated Angel Size: Up to 7 inches

I dont know in my honest opinion the tank is over crowded. When you say a school of coral catfish how many are we talking there? Might want to like oh i dont know downsize the amount of fish in the tank or buy a much larger tank.

it is a school of 6 coral catfish. but yeah as i mentioned is it okay to freshwater dip the clown for like 20 sec. as my LFS stated?

 

[Germanman]

Your a tang which could grow to 6" with a copperband and a Singapore Angel as everything else in your 55. Im sorry but your tank is well over crowded.

i agree.... and a water change as jojo said will really help...id get rid of the coral cats before they cause problems. hope it all works out

 

[bloo1987]

yeah. is it okay to keep it all now though? and when they get bigger i could give it back to the LFS or other SW people? I mean the fish are all small sizes right now.

i would also get rid of the Flounder. The Flounder and 6 Coral cats alone are over stocking that tank.

:sigh: seems like i should get rid of all my favorites. I can get rid of the coral cats but everything else? i dont know.
