Question about how many fish I can put in my tank. (55g)

I have, but I'm not too sure about them as I feel like I may already be overloading my system. But I am new to salt so I'm not sure how touchy the system is.

I think if you skip over one of the gobies you would be able to have a flasher or small fairy wrasse. But just make sure you let the tank mature.

Wow the flasher wrasse is beautiful! I really like it. TBH I think I would pass on the diamond goby as I will already have a jawfish to dig.

I would personally skip the mandarin.....unless you know for sure that it is eating a frozen food, it would likely starve out in a 55g

I agree with doug, most likely the mandarin will eat up its pod supply and starve.

Also, as others stated, look at wrasses, beautiful and great assortment of colors and patterns. I myself have purchases many wrasses in the past month: Thicklip Banner, 6 line, Potters, Black Leopard and a Bluish colored leopard wrasse.
