Hi everyone! My tank is almost finished cycling and I'm going to add my cleaning crew soon. I'm trying to decide which fish to put in and I think I have a plan. Please let me know if you think this is too much for a 72g tank. Thanks!!

Fish wish list:
yellow clown goby
two clowns (haven't decided which type, I like the maroons)
two green chromis (will two in a "school" keep them happy?)
midas blenny or lawnmower blenny

I think that's it. Does this sound good? If I had all of these fish would I have room for one or two other small fish? Thanks!

Chromis : I would personaly on go with 4 as the minimum.
Lawnmower blennys are so cool...

do you still think I could have all of the other fish with 4 chromis and not be overstocked?

I personaly dont think that would be a problem. Just aslong as you have a good clean up crew.

-30-50 tubos snails - they do wonders.
-20 bumble bea snails - gets the little nooks and cranys the turbos cant get.
-Cleaner Shrimp - Eat all the crap on the sand
-Sand Sifter - Clean your sand bed
-Nasuarie Snails (SP) - great sand snails

Lawnmower blenny will do good if you have algea for him to munch on.

looks like a great peaceful set up... good luck, and be patient, dont add fish too soon, and space em out... i agree add 4 chromis the scooling aspect is awsome

I know we shouldn't add too quickly to our tanks but should all of the chromis be added at the same time? It seems it would be less stressful on the fish to be added together.
