    Hey all, i got a 29gal soon to be reef tank and had some questions about stocking. I am looking to have a pair of true percs a,randall goby, and either a bicolor blenny or tailspot blenny. Which of these should i add to the tank first?

    2 clowns first - they are hardy and good as starter fish (they may become territorial but percula clowns are less aggressive than some other clowns)

    Tailspot blenny

    randall goby

    bicolor blenny last

    anything you put in the tank first might be mean to additional inhabitants. i put my clowns in first and theyre fine with everyone! the blenny can be mean but if added last it should lessen the chance.

    if you but tank raised clown they are usaly alot less territorial and i would put the clowns first because they are the hariest of the fish and will suit very well as a first fish.

    I put my clowns in first

    what kinda clowns do you want?
