Stock list redone after tons of helpful info on here. Now to figure out the order...

5 foot long tank w the plan to add softies and mushrooms in the future.

3 Lyretail Anthias
Watchman Goby (already have)
Golden OR Neon Blue Goby
Yellowtail Damsel (already have)
Royal Gramma
Harptail Blenny
Green Canary Blenny
Striped Blenny
Starry Blenny
2 Percula or Oscellaris clownfish
Splendid Leopard Wrasse
Yellow Wrasse
Exquisite Fairy Wrasse
2 Watanabei Angelfish
Blue tip Bristletooth Tang

Few things to consider:
  • I’m not necessarily planning to get ALL the fish. It’s more like a wait and see how everyone’s getting along.
  • According to my research, Blennies of the Meiacanthus family can be kept together. 3 of the blennies are types of Meiacanthus. Not the starry.
  • Research says best to keep 3 of the leopard wrasses together. Someone I trust on here said 1 would be fine/better. Thoughts?
  • I’d like to add the clowns after I’ve got a host anemone settled in for them. Anemone has to go through 3 mth quarantine 1st and I’ve yet to purchase it. So, not for a while.
  • With all the Anthias and Wrasses, I assume I’ll need one heck of a pod population and am willing to seed the tank from time to time. Plus I’m planning on a 20g Display refugium which will be used as a pod nursery. Will this be ok? I’d like to seed once a mth Max. What do you think?

As always, thanks a ton and all input will be much appreciated :)
 
Goby first, then wrasse or blenny or clown , does not matter , tang at the end. You want to coordinate between same species as well.
