    Anthias are tough fish, make sure they are eating when you get them, 75 might be a little to small for them thou. The others seem fine.

    that sounds like way too much to me. I'd cut that list in half, at least.

    BTW - Royal Gramma's are in the grouper family and have been known to go after shrimp... so if you want to keep shrimp... I find RG's to be overly aggressive anyway... I won't get another one.

    Think I will keep it at 6 one of each fish, see how it goes then mabye add one last small cardinal or something. Just gonna drop the blenny. Any special order I should add these guys? Also any other fish as nice as the anthias not too hard to keep? I did raise 5 tri color anthias for a friend before but got rid of them before they got too big did not seem too hard but have read alot of peeps say they are tough to keep. Thanks for the input)

    Chromis school and will be stressed alone so I would throw that out as you don't have room for a school. Wrasses tend to fight unless you have a huge tank size so I would only add one wrasse.
