Risky to add clownfish before the goby?

[Flipperfin]

Hey guys!
My tank has been fish ready for a while and id Like to add some fish (its a 12g long), my plan was a small goby and a small pair of ocellaris. Initially i wanted to get the goby first to avoid the pair having established a territory before it Arrives, and thus creating more aggression. However it turns out that no lfs near me will be keeping any of the gobies that would fit, and won't have them for a while.. because of that I'm now considering getting the clownfish first, but what do you think? Would it be safe enough for the goby to arrive later?

I added my clown goby after my 2 clowns. No issue. My clowns were the first resident.

Ok great! Did you add the pair at once or one at a time?

the goby and clown wont swim in the same area of the tank. therefore there wont be much aggression between the 2. so it doesn't really matter how you add them

I don't think it matters how you add the fish, but if those Clowns ever decide to pair up you might have to get rid of the Goby. There's really nowhere to run to in a 12 gallon tank, so definitely be prepared to make some changes if need be.
