    (i have a 36 gallon tank),
    well, i've decided to get
    2 clownfish the first time i buy any fish
    then a Royal Gramma,
    then a Yellow Goby,
    then a Damselfish,
    does that sound ok? And could i get anymore fish?

    I'd delete the damsel. Not only will be be a complete terror, but your stock level will be more appropriate without it.

    Add the goby before the gramma.

    I second about the damsel! I had to tear down my rockwork to get mine out and the other fish seem alot happier!

    No damsel. Unless you mean Chromis. In which case you need a few and should stock with the clowns/Chromis and gramma. I have this (basically) in a 55 and it works swell

    I wouldn't even get the Chromis honestly. If you plan on having SPS, then I would make sure that isn't a Yellow Clown Goby. They can nip at SPS.

    If you are going SPS I might skip the damsel... and the goby. SPS like pristine water, the fewer the fish the easier it will be in that size of tank.

    There is nothing wrong with just starting out with a couple of clowns before adding something else. Clowns are funny to watch anyways. They are silly little fish.
