Should work as long as you understand the nature of chromis and are willing to put up with them potentially picking each other off.

Can all of those chromis be introduced at once note the slight number change and as they pick each other off do I replace them

Do trios of chromis kill each other off

Lots of reports of people trying various configs and numbers of Chromis only to have them pick eachother off over time. Personally, I avoid them for this reason.

Forget about the blue green chromis i may just throw in 3 pajama cardinalfish to replace them what about the lemon chromis ive seen a tank with 3 and i will probably change my numbers to 3.
Will lemon chromis kill each other off?

Add in a yellow watchman goby to that stocking lost I forgot to add it

Pajama Cardinals would be a great choice, they just hang around and don't establish pecking order via aggression. I have one in my 90 gallon and he just hangs around.

Can I still do 3 lemon chromis?

Scotts fairy wrasses can be a bit on the aggressive side, but with those tank mates it should be fine. The Chromis are simply a "try it and see" type situation.

I used 5 blue green chromis to cycle my tank and three years later I still have have four...So don't necessarily agree with the idea that they will slowly pick each other off.

Last question do all of these fish adapt to pellets from an auto feeder quickly (within a couple of days)?

I made the desicion to go with yellow chromis because they are open water peaceful damsels

Could I do the same stocking list but a yellow tang instead of the fairy wrasse and the anthias
