I have a 55 gallon tank with 2 clown fish and a coral beauty also some snails and a peppermint shrimp that never comes out. Im looking for a new fish any thoughts.

Best to add the little guys (grammas, firefish, blennies, gobies, cardinalfish) before adding more angels/tangs. What kind of fish do you like? Is this a reef or fish only??

fish only but there are inverts and I like big colorful fish.

55 gallons is too small for any of the big fish like tangs, butterflies and large angels. There are some pretty fairy wrasses that would be suitable for your tank.

It doesn't need to be a large fish just one bigger for the tank and stays out and swims around

Carpenter wrasse, Midas blenny, hawk fish, friedmanni psuedochromis, azure damsels

very cool but it says it needs a 120 I have a 55 and I have a cover for the tank I do have a lot of cyano in the tank though and I'm not sure if it would effect any of the fish
