Pearlscale
I have a 55 gallon fish only tank. With the exception of a shrimp which I rarely see other than that I have a coral beauty and two clown fish. I was thinking of getting two new fish for awhile. I was doing research one is a hawkfish the other is a pearlscale butterfly fish thoughts or advice with these fish will they be ok in a 55?

I think a 55 gallon maybe a little small for the butterfly fish. Hawkfish will be fine

are they hardy fish like clowns or are they sensitive to water parameters.

Minimum tank size for a pearlscale is 70/75 gallons. A hawkfish would be a good addition.

I wouldn't recommend one for a 55 gallon, however.

Other than a pearl scale what other fish would you recommend for a 55 I would like something on the bigger side
