I am about a week away to adding fish and clean up crew and was wondering if anyone provide me some insight to what order should i add the fish I plan on adding. the fish I want are:
Cinnimon Clown
Yellow/Kole Tang
Six Line Wrasse
Flame Angel
Diamond Golby
Bicolor Blenny
If anyone could just tell what fish I should add first. Oh and I have a 72 bow w/ 85 lb of LR and 60 lb of LS. Thanks in advance.

If your tank is done with your cycle I know I had a diamond goby and he moved around a LOT of sand, so that provided aeration in my sand... I'm not sure, though :) You probably will want to add the more timid fish first. I know I added a clown goby to my tank and my 3 stripe damsel picked on him until he died.

add the angel and wrasse last...I had a pygmy angel and it was pretty territorial...I've heard the same about the wrasses...I'd go with the clown, bicolor or kole tang or something like that first..they are more timid and will establish their territory first...I;d wait a few months for the goby...they eat whats in ur sand bed....so you want to build that up a bit b4 adding one...

I agree with the last post. I would do blenny first, then clown, then Kole tang, then angel, then wrasse, and at last the goby. When I had my Kole Tang, he was extremely shy. He didn't do well at all for me. He had parasites pretty bad and some sort of fungus growing on him. ALL the Kole Tang had it at the LFS and they all weren't doing well and some of them they had to put down, they told me. I treated him the best way I know how, but he died at last....
Will get another Kole Tang once we get the 125+ gallon purchased in spring. They're wonderful fish...good luck!!!
