    Draggonets are not a beginner fish. Read up on them first. Honestly I usually get my scooters only slightly cheaper then mandys

    Fish For New Tank???

    Common misnomer, aggressive. You do NOT want aggressive fish. You want large fish. Look up undulated triggers thats an aggressive fish! Aggression only leads to trouble in the end. Lions are considered aggressive but are pussy cats if they can't eat u.

    Piece of raw shrimp removed after 24hrs will help start your cycle. fish. Maroons are VERY hard to pair due to there aggressive nature. If u want a pair to perc or occ clowns. Scooter blennys are actually draggonets , and not blennys at all. Your list is good tho.

    Premix it yes. You want it mixed w a power head for atleast24 hrs prior to use. Fish safe, test your water. You should see ammonia, nitrite, nitrate. In that order once only low nitrate is read your tank is ready to slowly add fish

    Fish For New Tank???

    Easy rule of thumb for sw is one type of fish per tank. Most don't mix well w eachother. There are exceptions such as a pair of clowns or shoal of anthias, but more times than not same species don't mix well. Different looking tangs usually wrks, but even that depends on the temperament of each...
