    Well to be honest I'm not sure what kinda fish I want just something different and that looks colorful and unique, its a reef tank all I need is the lighting system (need money lol)

    Isn't a 55 too small for a tang long-term? And the puffer would try to eat the shrimp. I like this (probably getting it for my 75 once it's set up):

    It's called a Chalk Bass.

    5-6 small/med fishes is good enough for a 55g. anymore could be trouble depending on what you mix together.
