Potential Fish Stocking list

[Bearsfish]

I am thinking about stock for my 40(ish) gallon corner bowfront tank...

Green Clown Goby
Yellow Watchman Goby
Firefish
Clownfish (pair) not sure on type just yet, thinking ocilaris (spelling?)


Then a mix of Zoa, Paly, Softies, and LPS in time..

Thoughts on this and the order of adding them?

I think that is a fine mix, and shouldn't matter on order with those. The ocellaris & percula clowns are the most peaceful, which would be best with the peaceful lineup you have.

You would have space for another little fish as well, if you'd like. Something like a blenny, other neat goby (not another shrimp goby - but something like a neon goby or Tigrigobius type), possum wrasse, royal gramma or assessor basslet, geometric pygmy hawk, etc.

If you're planning to get a pistol shrimp w/ the goby (you should!), make sure your rockwork is securely placed on the bottom glass, not on top of the sand.

Thank you!! I have been looking at getting a pistol shrimp to hang out with the watchman. I like the idea of another addition. I will have to keep researching before I settle on one. How do you think a dotty back would fit in with these tank mates?
