Hey all,

Planning for a future aquarium - 75 gallons, eventually with coral. Considering the list of fish below. What order should I introduce them in? My best guess is in the order listed below. Also, do you see any compatibility issues? And lastly, what websites would you recommend purchasing from? The LFS around me don't seem to be very reliable in terms of information or stocking healthy fish.

Also, would like to consider a small anemone at some point for the clowns. Any recommendations for an anemone that stays small and is relatively kind to future coral?

Thanks!

Current fish list and order:
1 Purple Firefish
2 Green Chromis
1 Sailfin/Algae Blenny
2 Kauderns Cardinalfish
1 Yellow Spotted Watchman Goby with a shrimp buddy
1 Royal Gramma Basslet
2 Ocellaris Clownfish
1 McCosker's Flasher Wrasse
 
I'd skip the Chromis, they tend to pick each other off and many of them seem to be shipping with disease these days. I would actually add the flasher wrasse before the clowns. The Royal Gramma and the Clowns are the most aggressive fish on that list. www.liveaquaria.com is usually the place recommended for most standard fish if you order online.

Could you avoid Chromis aggression with a mated pair?
 
Thanks for the suggestions. Should the fish on this list accept frozen and pellet foods, in your experience?

Everything on your list should take pretty well to prepared foods, always a good idea to check at the LFS first though.
 
Great to hear that.

If I wanted to add a Mandarin Goby sometime in the future after my tank is well established so there are plenty of copepods available, would any of the existing fish be a known problem? Most curious about the basslet, the wrasse, and the other bottom dwellers.
