hey everyone, i am hopping to get a little feed back on my fish list. the tank is 72x18x20"H with a 45gal sump. here is the current list.
1-Green clown goby (Gobiodon atrangulatrus)
1-Yellow clown goby (Gobiodon okiwawee)
5-Dispar anthias (Mirolabrichthys dispar)
2-Lineatus fairy wrasse (Cirrhilabrus lineatus)
1-Canary blenny (Meiacanthus ovalaunensis)
1-Regal angel (Pygoplites diacanthus )
2-False percula clown (Amphiprion ocellaris)
1-Kole yellow eye tang (Ctenochaetus strigosus)

i want to add an orcid dottyback (fridmani pseudochromis). how do you think he will do in the mix. thinking i might boot the percula clowns if room is needed. any ideas??
on a different subject what do you think is best stocking fish first or corals first. or both as i go? mostly thinking of the angel and corals, but over all aswell.
also thinking of getting 3 wrasse and 2 dottybacks but not sure if there will be enough swimming room for everyone?? any ideas

In my opinion your tank is already a bit crowded. Is this a Fish Only tank? Also, from what I've heard the orchids can be a bit aggressive.

I have heard many stories of orchids killing their tankmates, regardless of size. I would recommend passing on them.

That is a very heavy stocking list. You could make it work, as long as you keep up on the water quality, though.

I would do the angel and tang last.

Oh, and do you know that the canary blenny is venemous?

thanks for the feedback. yeah i know about the canary. from what i understand the orchid pretty much stays to themselves. i am worried about the swimming room though. maybe just one dottyback and 2 wrasse then take out the percula clowns. i dont really think about the clown gobies. this will be a reef tank. i wish i could put them in full grown just to see how crowded it will be. on the anthias i am a little confused on the grouping, is it one male and a odd number of females or just an odd number including the male? i know to try to get all females. but odd or even number of females or should i just flip a coin. :thinkhard:
