    I hope you got a 100+ gallon tank. sailfin would be probly the boss of them. would advise adding them all at once or sailfin last. I dont know if the scopas and sailfin would be ok together or not though.

    wait untill you upgrade. everyone always gets big fish saying they are going to upgrade but something may come up causing you to not be able to or you may not want to go that big by then.

    if its going to be easy to upgrade then i dont see what the problem is with waiting untill you get the bigger tank to get the fish.

    You'll hear a lot of misinformation in the sw hobby. FTR, it would depend on the individual species from both fresh and sw. Some LFSes will tell you that fish won't outgrow their environment too, but there is no scientific data to support that claim.
