Hey everybody-

I don’t know that this side of the forum is very active or not.

I’m wondering if there are any generalized guidelines or order to add species from certain groups.
Example should blennys be added after gobys and gobys before clowns?

Does that make sense?
What order would fish from the following groups be added.
Wrasses
Basslets
Gobys
Blennys
Triggers
Hawks
Puffers
Tangs
Butterflies
Anthias

What order would add the list to a tank?
Grouping fish groups is fine too.

Any cookie cutter stock list out there?

I realize this kinda thing can be obnoxious to some but I bet there is someone out there who fancies themselves a teacher who can help me out- once again loosely I’m not expecting an exact science

Thank you

Least agro to most agro , sometimes it also depends on which fish within the species. Like wrasses there are so many different ones some don't get along others do. Just setup a SW tank the 21st or 22cnd , coral involved? No coral? Corals involved then most triggers are out.

Coral may be involved.
GSP, war coral and or some leathers. Not too many.

Blue jaw trigger will be in there.

I got the whole ascending Agro think.
Keeping it to reed safe wrasses’s

There’s a few species groups they just say add last- but not as they relate to each other: dwarf angels, tangs and triggers.

Blue jaw triggers will eat sponges but generally don't touch corals much, add all tangs at same time as they may fight otherwise.
Puffers may take a bite out of corals every once in a while.

More importantly make sure all fish have a place to hide
