What order do I put fish in.

After I'm done cycling.. These are the fish I want. Just wandering what order you guys think would be best.

I don't plan on having a whole lot of corals... xenia, GSP, anemone for clowns, maybe a few more for color.

I have a Yellow tail Damsel for the cycle. he can stay or go I'm not really attached to him..
Fish I want:

Percula Clown maybe a pair
Yellow Tang
Regal Tang
5-6 Chromis
Some sort of sand sifter like a lawnmower
McKoskers Flasher wrasse.

Kinda common in the trade , but that's fine with me I like them all.

Would love a Mandarin, but that will have to wait until tank matures more and I gain experience.

(oh yeah, I'll have full array of inverts.)

 

Everything sounds like it would be fine with one another, maybe try the regal and yellow tang at the same time, then the chromis, then the lawnmower, then the clowns and the wrasse at the same time.. usually the wrasses and clowns will be the most territorial in my short experience..

 

I would add the yellow last

 

Thanks a bunch.

 

I would add the Chromis first. They are the mellowest. Then the Lawnmower Blenny. It just doesn't care. I have one. It is not terratorial at all. So, those out of the way. I would add the wrasse next. Then the clown pair. Then the regal and yellow tang at the same time. That is what I would do. If the wrasse is bigger than the clowns, switch the order. Wrasses and tangs have been known to war. However, this is not always true....my wrasse and yellow tang are best friends. Go figure.

 

if you want my opinion i would just skip the tangs all together, or at least just the yellow tang, when you get your first sign of ick in your tank and you got those corals in there you will know why the tangs dont go into my tank anymore. lol

they are pretty fish, but that mandarin is much prettier, and by the time you will be ready for those tangs you could just get the mandarin dragonete instead.

those regals are gorgeous thou, hmmm


sry if my post was a lil negative, im just a fan of smaller fish over fewer big ones.

ither way i bump what pharmrjohn said about the order.
