Hi guys,

I was wondering what the best order of adding fish to a tank would be. From my understanding, you try to add the most timid first and the most aggressive last. Here is the list of fish that I would like to add. Let me know your input.

Sunburst Anthias
Tang (yellow or purple)
Clown pair
blue spot jawfish
Midas Blenny
Green Banded Blenny
Lawn Mower Blenny
Wrasse (Leaning toward 4 line- to eat pests)
Diamond Goby
Geometric pygmy hawkfish

Is there anything wrong with adding 3 different type of blennys? Are they the type that don't get along with each other?

Thanks!

Sunburst anthias, blue spot jaw, geometric pygmy hawkfish, and green banded goby can all be added early on.

The tang should be added last.

A fourline wrasse should be added towards the end as well, they can become quite aggressive as they mature.
