Trying to figure out in which order to add these fish to the tank. Any insight would be appreciated.

I already have a well established pink spotted goby, he will eat a lot. Will start in the water then get distracted picking from the sand.

The other fish I want to add are:

1 Copperbanded Butterfly
2 Orange Spotted Filefish
1 or 2 captive bred Mandarin Dragonets

I will allow significant time between adding different species.


Will likely add the dragonets last, still unsure about them and they should come ready to eat prepared food. I also have a very high pod population.


My main concern is CBB or filefish first. They are both likely going to take some effort.
 
Tank size? Also the fish listed will all compete for the same food source of pods.
