Stocking issues

Well, the only fish to survive a parasite breakout was my scooter dragonette. I now have the opportunity for a "fresh start" so to speak with fish and am more concerned about the order I put fish in than the actual fish. With that said, I definitely want a flame angel (probably last to be added), 6-line wrasse (right before angel). Other options I'm considering:

- clown (tank bred Oc.)
- midas blenny
- scissortail goby
- firefish

What do you think? Any conflicts? What order? Thinking clown first or goby. Thanks.

 

I would put the six line last if anything, the rest of the fish are good to go, if however you plan on gettin another clown in the future id say add them together. More importantly, how do you know your parasite problem is gone? Start supplementing your fish food with some sort of vit. soak like selcon as a kind of prophylaxis to stengthen their defense incase the problem is not completely eradicated or your scooter is carrying it...

 

I have QT currently cycling so anything I get is going in there for at least 4 weeks, possibly 6. I'm debating on one clown or two, but leaning towards one. I like the 6-line but I'm hearing good and bad about them now so I don't know.

Firefish look nice but don't really do anything. A midas blenny and scissortail goby would be nice.

When I go reef I'm afraid of the flame angel so I may not get one of those.

 

Yea, firefish are pretty but kinda boring and skittish, my six line (before it went carpet surfing) had probably the most character in the tank, constantly swimming through every crevice and inspecting ever new thing in the tank. The gobies sound nice but other than the clown, you wont get much color without the flame. Make a 3reef poll to help you with your decision on the six line, im for it, just think it should be last. good luck

 

I've think I've narrowed it down a bit (in order):

1 - clown
2- scissortail goby/dartfish
3 - midas blenny
4 - six line

How does that sound?
