Fish Recommendations and Order of Introductions - 28g --> 65g

Lawnmower blennies can get pretty big. I had a segmented blenny, which is a smaller version. Very cute guy.
You need a shrimp goby to pair up with a shrimp.
I had a firefish for about a year in the main tank, and although I saw no aggression from the other fish, all the goings-on were apparently too much for her, and she hid out of sight except for feeding - when I would see her for a few brief seconds. I now have one in my little softy tank, and with just a few small gentle tank mates, she is hanging out in the water column all the time

Do you think a Bi-Color Dottyback would be a better fit than a Royale Grammar?

No, they tend to end up as very nasty fish to other smaller or similar sized.

Agreed!

How about a pair of Bangaii Cardinals? Another of my favorites, potentially you could get them breeding too.

I really want a pair and had it on the list originally. I heard they hide most of the time and wasn't sure if they'd be bullied.

May be I'll put them back on the list

Moved my Tail-spot blenny over yesterday. Was worried the Carpenter Wrasse was lonely.

Wrasse was a bit aggressive in keeping my Tail-Spot grounded and not allowed to swim around freely. Continuing a bit today on day two but leaving him alone if he's not swimming around.
