    Right now I have 2 biocubes at 29 gallons each. Because each tank has a fairy wrasse that needs at least a 55 gallon tank to be comfortable, I am planning to upgrade as they get bigger to a 55. Here is a list of the fish I already have that I would like to combine from 2 small tanks to one larger one.
    Carpenter's flasher wrasse
    goldflash fairy wrasse
    (the two above are good friends)
    solar fairy wrasse
    scooter blenny
    royal gramma
    randall's shrimp goby

    QUESTIONS:
    1. What is the best order to add the fish to the new tank? (I plan to do it slowly)
    2. I have read that the goldflash and solar wrasses are unusual among fairy wrasse and should get along if I add them at the same time. Is this true? I believe they are both male.
    3. If a black and white clown is large enough and has a nem, can it cohabitate in a 29gallon tank with a dwarf lion? Or will it likely be lunch?

    Dwarf lions don't move around a lot. from what I've read they can be kept in a 20 gallon tank as long as it's not loaded up with other stuff. They only get about 5.5-6 inches and mostly hover in the water column. Thanks for the wrasse link, I'll post in there :)
