Is this a terrible fish combo?

[MCC]

What kind of skimmer are you using? Are you using one at all???

How much live rock? What else you plan to put in your tank??

The fishes you recommend aren't that demanding on the bio load... I am sure you can get by with a clown, firefish, and dotty.... if you have a good skimmer and lots of live rock or even a refugium mod....

If you are down to two fish only... go with the clownfish and a purple firefish ... so you can have the best of both worlds.. seems like you like firefishes and PURPLE....
