My 36G bow front is almost ready to be populated with fish.

Should i be adding Ocellaris clownfish first or last? Do I add them in a pair? I haven't made my final list of fish yet but I am sure I will be having 2 benggai cardinals, 1 royal gramma and maybe a goby.
 
I'd add the clown pair last in your 36gal tank. They'll take up alot of real estate for their territory, so more peaceful fish should be added first; a few weeks after CUC. Personally, I'd put royal gramma first, wait a few weeks then add goby, then cardinals, & clowns last.
 
that's a good point... like dogs... you want to have the smaller/less aggressive dog first to even things out... like giving them the home field advantage.
