50g Stocking Reef Tank

[Fate]

Just finished the cycle process and got a few fish in mind that I'm looking to add to the tank. This is will be a reef tank and my goal is to upgrade to a larger tank in a year or a little sooner so some of the fish I'll be adding will be ones not best suited for a 50g and will probably be slightly overstocked. The goal is to buy them as small as possible so by the time they grow I'll have already upgraded.

With that being said can anyone recommend me a cool stock? Fish that are reef safe and will not kill each other? Got a few in mind but im interested to hear other options, I'm not really a fan of the Blennies or gobys

Thanks

I got a nice size (3") mystery wrasse if you're interested. Eating frozen and pellets.

Sailfin tangs are nice

I have 2 clown fish(mated pair) 3 lyretail anthias (1 male 2 female) and a pair of cardinal fish...

I plan on adding a Midas blenny and maybe a wrasse or another anthias (I need a yellow fish maybe a yellow watchman goby and shrimp)

I would wait on the fish that are not recommended for your 50 gallon tank. Even when they are small many of the open water swimming fish need more room than your tank can provide. I would look into any of the flasher wrasses, any of the Firefish, most Gobies and Blennies.

sometimes you can find small leopard wrasses (2.5-3"), i think they're pretty cool! i got mine really small and now its a big and fat haha, but it has been fun watching him grow

Tank is still young.

Just don't get any fishes that poops a lot like tangs until your tank can break down the bio load.
