Green Canary Blenny and Firefish in QT?

Wondering your thoughts on these questions...

Currently in my 55 are a pair of Ocellaris clowns, a pair of Pajama Cardinals and a Neon Dottyback, along with the usual hermits and snails. I'd like to replace my recently deceased firefish with another firefish in the near future. That said, my wife says she gets her Canary blenny before I get any other fish. I want to know if I should also get an Exquisite Firefish at the same time or if it would do better added later.

Planning on doing TTM in 5gal buckets and QTing in a 10gal tank. Would the blenny get along with the firefish in the buckets and the 10gal or should they be processed separately? Also, my Dottyback got along well enough with my last firefish, but they were already together for a fairly long amount of time. Would the Dottyback likely harass the new-addition firefish too much? How well do you think the dottyback would accept the canary blenny? I'm wondering if the simultaneous addition of the blenny and firefish would keep the dottyback from going berserk on either one of the new fish.

Thanks.
 
I feel like a firefish just needs its bolt hole. If it has a safe hole that it can call its own, it will probably be ok. give him a closed end pvc piece in TTM and quarantine and I would venture to guess he would be ok. I assume your display has a nice hole for him if you had a happy firefish previously. But I would get some other opinions from more experienced people.
