Fish stocking and experiences!

[psanimals]

Hi all, currently trying to work out which fish i want to stock my tank with and was wanting some advice on which fish are most compatible, what order to add them and if you have had good experiences with them?

list of fish i am interested in(i do not plan to keep all of these):

tail spot blenny
midas blenny
clown goby
Banggani cardinal
Yellowtail Damselfish
firefish goby
royal gramma
orchid dottyback
blue-green reef chromis

currently the tank only has young two clowns!
Thanks heaps!

Midas blenny can be territorial, not sure how compatible it will be with other blennies

The Chromis may or may not self destruct
The yellow tail damsel may or may not backfire also IME
Ive had no issue with orchid dottybacks but Ive heard they can be trouble…but again, not IME

That's a lot of fish for a 40g IMO. Cut that list in half (or more).

I would try to keep it at 6-7 fish to start (adding 1 or 2 per month)

I would remove the damsel, the chromis, and the dottyback. These are aggressive fish that may or may not get along with the others.

You'll need a good lid... firefish should be called flierfish
