Fish list

I have a 55 Gallon that I just finished cycling and I have a few concerns.

How many fish can you really have in this tank that work in tanks above 30 Gallon. I'm thinking one sand sifter, probably a twin spotted gobby, maybe one or two cardinals and maybe a pair of clownfish but I am not sure. I also like the firefish as well. Some people have told me you can only have 1 inch of fish per 5 gallons of water, which is about 10 inches worth of fish (about 3 fish at 3 inches) and some say 5-7 in a 55 gallon without any issues.
 
You're looking at one small to medium fish per ten gallons.

So... with what you have listed (which are all small fish) you could do six fish.

The key to saltwater is stocking very slowly. Allow at least three weeks between additions.
