Fish Stocking Question
 
Asked this question in my build thread but didn't get any replies. My 100gal reef has been running for 6 months now since Feb/10. In March I put in a Lawnmower Blenny. 3 days ago I added a Dragon Goby and today I stocked 2 Zebra Dartfish. After these recent stockings, I'll give it a rest for a bit to let everyone settle in and to not overload the system. The only tang I will put in will be a Kole and he'll be my last fish added. Any thoughts on what I should add next? I have 2 Ocellaris clowns in my 20 gal and have been debating on putting them in my 100. They're not aggresive but I don't want to take any chances on them possibly ganging up on anybody.

Probably get a better response if you posted a wish list and people could advise from there.

Is there any fish in particular that you're partial to? People can suggest fish until you're blue in the face but it's more about what you like.

I have a 110 gal reef with blue gudgeons, tomato clowns, chromis, 6 line wrasse, spotted hawk, dragonette, sandsifting goby, engineer goby, yellow clown goby, green clown goby, LMBlenny and lyretail anthias. They're all great together and nobody is abusive to either corals or each other.

Like I said it was in my tank jorunal...
Kole tang
Green or yellow coral goby
Some type on wrasse
Royal or blackcap gramma

Do I need another sand sifter to go along with the dragon goby? If so I have an orange spot goby in my 20 that I can put in when he gets a bit fatter. He already ended up in the overflow when I tried him a couple of months ago.

I'm open to any suggestions

Royal Grammas are nice...I've been looking at them...but just haven't gotten there yet.
Before my blue cleaner wrasse jumped, he was one of the most active members in my tank! He was super cool. Royal Cleaner wrasses are cool looking too

Throw them all in you will be fine, put the clowns in to. You are being to cautious in my eyes. You can find compatibility charts on the internet for saltwater fish. You will always have little fishy spats but just use common sense and you will be fine.

If you are looking for a sand sifter (which is very benificial) you should pick up some nassarius snails. They are going to do nothing but good for your tank.

if you get a gramma, go for 2 or even 3...they form the most interesting heirarchy/harem.

Mine are SO rewarding for such a low maintenance, relatively cheap fish.

Got them already

I'm no expert and this may sound stupid. But with my tank that is'nt too much bigger than yours, the clown gobies just seem to disappear. Someone once told me that they are best suited in a nano tank. Does'nt make sense since they come from a much bigger place.
