Hi everyone!
My son has an established 55 gallon FOWLR tank and is now ready to introduce the following fish:
Ocellaris clownfish
Australian black percula
Blue reef chromis
Orange strip prawn goby
Chalk basslet
Canary blenny
Can you please tell me in what order you think he should introduce the fish? He really appreciates the advice! Thanks so much. Laurie Mae

I would do the clowns first. Try to get tank raised.then wait a month or so to add more. Since you have LR you could do the clowns and chromis. Make sure u add the clowns togather. Other wise u could see aggression

Actually, the clowns should go last...they have a tendency to become bullies (like most other damsels). As for mixing clownfish species, it often doesn't work out in the longrun, but I'll let the clownfish-keepers speak to that.
I'd add the chalkie first (great fish, BTW), then the chromis, the blenny, the goby, and finally the clownfish.
