Stocking order

[cobra617]

Hi all,
I believe that I have decided on what I want to have in my tank. I just don't know how I should go about stocking it. I figure that it will take at least a couple of months to get to the end state. My list is:

Coral Beauty Angel
Flame Angel
Blue Hippo Tang (will sell back to LFS after a year or so because of size)
Yellow Tang
2 x Percula Clowns
Royal Gramma
Mandarin Dragonet

I know that the Tangs can be a little aggressive, so I am guessing they go last? Though I will be getting the Tangs really young. (not sure they need to go last if I get them this young)
I know that putting in 2 different Angels may be bad. But I will monitor very closely and would probably put them in at the same time.

Also, my tank currently has a Yellow Tail damsel and Blue Devil damsel. I will definitely remove the blue devil. Can I leave the yellow tail or should I remove it too? (It is downright docile compared to the blue devil)


Any help with pointing me to the order that I should stock the tank would be appreciated.

How big is your tank? And, I'm not sure about mixing pygmy angels is a good idea.

50 gallon.
That is why the Tangs will be temporary. I will either move them (if I get a 110G tank) or sell them back to my LFS.

Thanks.

I'm going to go ahead and say your stocking level is simply too much bioload for your tank even if you'll be moving everything. I guarantee if you put all of those fish in.. in any order you will have multiple dead fish.

You could get away with the last 4 fish on the list
clowns, gramma, dragonet.. BUT you will have a starving dragonet within no time at all unless you have a huge refugium to keep a good pod population.
Stick to gobies, blennies, the clowns, 1 dwarf angel, and some inverts for a 50g. The dwarf of course being last.

Didn't notice the damsel part. All damsels are aggressive but the yellow tails I believe are a more docile member of that group. You will probably have a problem with the clowns and the yellow tail damsel though.
