    I'm trying to add the fish in order of least to most aggressive to the tank. It's a 100g with just LR, some hermits, and an onyx clown.

    My list of fish want's for the tank-

    Royal Gramma
    Coral Beauty
    Flame Hawkfish (not sure about this guy but I was looking for some interesting characters to add diversity)
    Midas Blenny
    Some kind of wrasse, maybe Christmas Wrasse?
    Thinking about a smaller tang like a Tomini.

    Other candidates were a Foxface or if I got rid of the hermits a Niger Trigger but I would obviously have to lose some of the fish on the other list since these are both larger and that is the max that I would want to stock my tank. I think I'd rather have two smaller than ones than one 10+ inch fish.

    Any ideas as to the next candidate? Lol I'm broke right now so it'll be a month or so before they get ordered but hey doesn't hurt to plan ahead ;)
    Thanks in advance for the input.

    Wrasse, coral beauty, and tang last. Others on the list can go whenever.

    Wrasse can go in whenever, but any angel can be a bully, as well as the gramma. I would add the blenny or the wrasse next. The hawk should be a next to last addition as well.

    Tomini tangs, you should wait until the tank is at least 6 months of old or so, in case it won't eat prepared food.

    Roger that :) Thanks guys, blenny it is. I need time to put together some mesh to stop the wrasse from committing seppuku. Then I'll get him after a month or two of the blenny having fun by himself.

    It's gonna be hard convincing the wife to let me get a blenny though. She saw this mean red lipped blenny bullying a keyhole angel at one of the LFS and I'm pretty sure it killed it cause we came back and it was gone. She now claims all blennies are douchebags lol.

    Just as well with the tang, he was going to be one of the last anyway.
