Looking for opinions...just started up a JBJ 65 gallon AIO a few weeks ago. Planning on it being a mixed reef mostly LPS with a few softies/rock nems. No plans for SPS.

What do you think of this fish list?

1-2 Ocellaris clown (added 1 juvenile a few days ago when cycle was done)
1 Yellow watchman goby (with a pistol shrimp)
4 Zebra barred dartfish (I like the idea of having a small "school" of these)
1 Green coral goby
1 Royal gramma basslet
2 Carpenters Flasher Wrasses (1 male, 1 female since Live Aquaria says these guys can be grouped: https://www.liveaquaria.com/product/329/?pcatid=329)

We want some color and personality as well as fish for all areas of the tank and water column.

What do you think? See any issues?

Any advice on what order to add them?

Would love everyone's honest perspective and am definitely open to alternative ideas.
 
Typically I say yes, just be prepared to intervene if needed as there are never any garantees with fish. FYI the ruby longfin is one of my favorites
