Hey everybody,

I wanted to get everybody's opinions on my stocking list (current, and future plants). Right now, I have a SnowOnyx clown that is about an inch long and a royal gramma who have become quite close friends. I plan on adding a bangai cardinalfish, another clown, either a halichoeres or a sixline wrasse, a coral beauty, and possibly a shrimp/goby combo.

My two questions are are those fish compatible with each-other and secondly, which order if any should I add them in?

Also if anybody has any particularly cool nano tank fish suggestions I would love them!!

Coral beautys may get kinda big for that size. Though i have heard captive bred ones tend to stay smaller so you may get away with one of them, and would be nice to support captive breeding of them. Members of the xithypops group like the african flameback (which are also now captive bred fairly frequently) are maybe a better substitute.

A halichoeres like h.chrysus would be the peaceful option to the 6 line.

The only possible compatibility issue i can see ,could be the shrimp and wrasse, which i have no experience with to be certain about.

The sixline would not be an option if you plan on keeping multiple wrasses as they are very aggressive to any other wrasses. Although many halichoeres get too big for your tank size. So a sixline maybe better just add it last into your tank wiht no other wrasses.

I don't think whatever wrasse you pick will have a problem with the shrimp.

You may want to add the clown soon so there isn't aggression from a more established Snow Onyx Clown.

Not sure if you are doing coral but just make sure you add that coral before you put in the Coral Beauty Angel.

Other than that the gobies and cardinalfish and 1 wrasse look good! Some firefish could be a nice addition or maybe a blenny.
