Fish compatability

[aprilschutt]

I have a 75 gallon tank that is ready to start adding fish to it. I'm wondering if these fish will all do ok together and if so, what order should I start adding them in? I can't buy them all at once so will add them slowly over time as money allows. Also, is this too many? I don't know for sure what the load should be. Thank you!

2 Banggai Cardinalfish
3 Blue Green Chromis
2 Percula Clownfish
1 Flame Angel
1 Sixline Wrasse
1 Mandarin Goby
1 Bicolor Pseudochromis
1 Fox Face Rabbit Fish
1 Sunburst Anthias (maybe)
1 Cleaner Shrimp
hermit crabs and snails
corals as I go!

I'm a newbie here so if this is ridiculous please be kind. That's why I'm here first, to seek some advice!

cardinals and chromis first, followed by the foxface (i think you should pick something that doesn't get as large for your size tank) Anthia which need to be fed 3 or more times per day. clowns and bicolor and lastly the flame angel and sixline. Don't try and add a mandarine until the tank is at least a year old and if you really want one don't get a sixline since it will compete with the mandarine for pods

That's a lot of fish for a 75gal. I have 10 (mostly small) fish in my 105 right now, and I'm pretty close to being fully stocked. The foxface will get too big for that tank, and the Pseudochromis will harrass the Anthias and probably the Cardinals. Sixline wrasses can be bullies as well. Mandarins are extremely difficult to keep, even if you get one that will take prepared foods (they require large quantities of copepods otherwise).

I would review the following thread, as it can give you some ideas on compatibility. You can post your fish choices there as well: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2068112

Also, go slowly and add only one or two fish at a time, with several weeks in between additions. Do you have a quarantine plan?

Thanks both for the thoughtful responses. I do appreciate it. And yes I'm planning on quarantining new fish. Any ideas on tank size? Is a 10 gal big enough?

10gal will suffice, but I prefer 20gal tanks for better control over water quality. A 20 Long is a great QT if you have the space.
