    So in a few more weeks im going to start adding my fish into my new tank!

    I figured it would be easiest If i chose every fish i am going to get before I got them, since the most aggresive one should be added last.. These are the 4 fish Im planning on, In which order should I buy them?

    percula clownfish
    bangaii cardinal
    sixline wrasse
    yellow watchman goby

    I would add the goby or cardinal first and second, then the clown and the 6 line last. Thats just my opinion and I'm sure some others will jump in.

    I would hafta agree also.. The gobie and the cardinal are both very passive fish. both the clown and wrasse can be aggressive at times and or territorial.


    Best of luck....
