I have a 55 gal tank with about 100+ lbs live rock, and 5" sand bed.  I also run a Aqua C Remora Pro 24/7.  For lights, I am currently running 3 X 36" VHO - (50/50, Daylight, and Actinic) and will soon upgrade to include 2 X 250w MH; when I add the MH, all of my VHO will convert to actinic.  My current livestock inculude a Firefish, and a 3 1/2" Foxface.  I want to add what my LFS is calling a Dwarf Angel (it is dark blue with a yellow face - and a little larger than a quarter) a Royal Gramma and a pair of True Percula Clownfish.  I have a nice sized Frogspawn to house the Clownfish, and I assume that they will be fine with the current livestock.  I guess that my question is are these fish compatible with each other, or with time, will they - or one of them - become more aggressive towards the others?  I have heard that the Dwarf Angel tends to be too passive and becomes the object of abuse from many species of fish.

Your opinions are welcome!  Thanks in advance.

Jared,

My feeling is that perculas, firefish, royal grammas, and dwarf angels are about the most docile animals.  They will get along with everything.  I can't think of a more passive fish than those you listed.  The foxface is the only fish to possibly consider an antagonist, but I think that they are very peaceful fish and I wouldn't worry about it at all.  Maybe someone else has had a different experience, but if you ask me none of these fish are to be worried about.
