So I'm about to start to add my fish list to my 60g cube. I need some help making sure what I want is practical,safe and in the right order. Here goes
Flame hawk
2x percs(not sure what morph)
Orchid dotty back
Royal gramma
Green coris wrasse
2x clown goby
Goby and pistol shrimp pair.

Is this list ok? Anything that should be first or last? How
Many at a time and how
Long between new additions? Anything else that would fit with what I'm adding?
I'd thought about a golden dwarf eel aswell but $$$

Thanks.

Flamehawks will eat shrimp, if you plan to have any now or later on.
(Sometimes you don't think you're going to want a shrimp, then aiptasia appears and you want that peppermint shrimp to get rid of it...)
Just food for thought.
PS - I think my 2 bloodshrimp are 2 of the coolest things in my tank. Beautiful and full of character.

Royal gramma and orchid dottyback may fight, green coris wrasse will be too big for your tank, and yes flame hawk will eat shrimps.

Ugh. There goes all my hopes and dreams. Lol. Now I gotta dream up more I want some bright colours and the shock value. My rock pile is very open so was wanting a lot of in and out fish

My flame angel fits that bill for my tank. He's in and out of the caves all the time, very striking colours. They say they may nip corals but I have no problem with that.​
Never had a dottyback, but that's because I read they are mean.
Never had a royal gramma. They are beautiful but I hear they are a bit reclusive.
I have a Starcki Damsel. He's got nice bright blues and yellows. He gets along well with the other fish in my tank.
That was my goal, to have colour and movement in the tank without the drama of aggressive behaviours. I have that balance in my 75g with 2 clowns, a chromis (boring!), a diamond watchman goby, a yellow tang, the flame angel and the Starcki. I have lots of rock with caves in my tank, though. And Corals and anemones are my real passion so the fish are secondary.
Good luck! Stock it slowly. And have fun!
