Hey guys, Just wondering what kind of Saltwater Fish I should get for my tank?

It's 55 Gallons and I know how to take care of it I'm not a beginner, But I'm not exactly an Expert.

What are some good fish for a 55 gallon tank?

Much thanks.

Well it depends really on if you want fish that are more agressive, or ones that play nice.
However, 55gallon isnt really big enough to support large agressive fish. With the exception of smaller lion fish, snowflake eels ect.

There are lots of wrasse species like flasher wrasse which are really colourful.
There is loads to choose from.

But it really depends on what sort of thing your'e going for.
Do you have anything in mind or are there any fish which take your fancy and we can try and find sutable tank mates for those.

See I have like Live rocks and Farming coral( the ones that just GROW with the help of Live Rock)

I want Reefing fish.

Like ones that can Live together, MAYBE just a bit aggressive, but not like EXTREMELY Territorial.
If slight aggressiveness comes at the cost of the fish being beautiful, I'll go for it. I just don't want to have One fish own 3/4 of the tank while the other fish have to share a tiny little space

Keep in mind that any angel can and mostly likely will pick at coral at some point in their life. Research each before you get them to insure they'll fit a future model that you want your tank to fit into. Quite a few in that list are to big for a 55, imo.
