Hey all, I have a new tank (nuvo 20 peninsula) and it's a month old. I believe it's fully cycled, I have 5 happy snails and a coral. I did my first 30% water change last night.

I want to stock my tank with 2 frost bite clowns, a black neon dottyback, some sort of cardinal and some sort of damsel. Last 2 fish could be changed with something else but for sure I want the clowns and dottyback.

I just don't know what fish I should introduce first. I know damsels can be very territorial if they're the first inhabitant. This is currently my second tank :)
 
Oh as well, the frost bites are fairly expensive.. so I'd like to add a cheaper fish first if possible.
