Default 50g tank

so ive had my tank running for over a week now will post some pics at the end of this so you get an idea of what it looks like.
right now im trying to figure out wich fish to get for the tank. i was thinking
1 pygmy angelfish
1 red stripe angelfish
there both dwarf species and was reading on dr. foster and smith that the red stripe likes to be with other angelfish and the pygmy is fine as long as there arent more than onemale. so i figured this might be a good mix?
also wanted to go with the usualy pair of clown fish and later later laaatttteerrr down the line a manderin goby.

i wouldnt get any angels just yet. too soon. the clowns would be a better choice for a new setup. tomato clowns would be best.

so far so good! not sure about your angel question since i usually try to stay away from them since they like to nibble on lps btw tomato clowns are definitly not the best lol they are pretty much the most territorial of all clowns! did this replace your old setup or u still have that aswell?

yes they are more territorial but also hardier. besides they are fine if not with damsels or other clowns. angels can be terrors aswell.

I noticed a few species of clowns are referred to as tomato.. The clowns with 1 vertical strip are definitely a good starter choice.

no tomatoe clowns for me not my favorite. im going for true percs or false not that picky.
this did replace my old 29. used the same sand and LR plus added another 20 pounds of LR.
those are chocolate chip starfish they came w/ the 50g when i bought it i will be giving them to a lfs once i start adding in coral.
