what to do
All the tangs except for one needs to go. The Yellow Tang would be the best to keep. The foxface also should go with the coris wrasse. You still would have too many fish but at least you would have taken care of the largest most active fish. If you need to clear out some corals sale or give away the ones that you don't want.

There are no problems; only solutions.
Well you have the option to buy my tank
I got your message and I'm sorry but I will not sell you any of my fish with a tank that is that over stocked. The convict tang needs a big mature tank. He has HLLE right now and isn't fattening up. The pyramid butterfly seems to do best being fed a few times a day and he can get big himself.

Wow, that's a packed tank. Personally, I don't like any of those tangs in a 55 gallon tank, but if you must keep one, the tomini bristletooth is the best bet--it is by far the smallest of the group and most suitable in the long term. Other than thinning out the population, I don't know how else to help you out, honestly.

Well, nothing is larger than 2-3" except the Marine Betta. So, i was kinda getting the livestock for the new tank im looking for, just havent decided what i want in my price range. Fishfood, you had the 125 for 200 right? can you hold that for a little while???
Well as of right now I don't have anyone interested in it but I'm not turning anyone down. I'm about to move and would rather nto take it with me. Now it could take me another month or two before I actually am able to move, or more since we are in such a lovely housing market.
Its a 135 RR with dual overflow, tank, stand, canopy, sump, over the back closed loop, starboard bottom under the sand(in case you want to do bare bottom). I also have the return pump for sale but can work with you on that if you want it. Buyer needs lights and skimmer.
