    Looking for help with stocking list

    Hello folks, I'm looking for a bit of help with planning out the stocking list for my first FOWLR. The tank itself is a 65 gallon (36Lx18Wx24T) as it was the largest aquarium i can fit into the space my wife's willing to let me use in the living room. =P I'm planning on purchasing somewhere around 100# of live rock or filling around 3/4ths of the tank depending on what the live rock fariy delivers. I'm trying to stick with small mostly reef safe fish

    So far the species i'm interested in are:
    Yellowhead Jawfish - Opistognathus aurifrons
    Yellow Watchman Goby - Cryptocentrus cinctus
    Hi Fin Red Banded Goby - Stonogobiops nematodes (alternate choice)
    Tangaroa Goby - Ctenogobiops tangaroai (alternate choice)
    Green Clown Goby - Gobiodon atrangulatus
    Firefish - Nemateleotris magnifica
    Firefish, Purple - Nemateleotris decora (alternate choice)
    Blue Assessor - Assessor macneilli
    My LFS keeps recomending the blue/green chromis but i just don't like them that much does anyone have any other recomendations for some "schooling" fish that can add a little extra interest to the tank?

    Thanks for the time guys, i look forword to any sugestions from you. (oh, i've done my best to read most of Lee's guides on this forum, but i still feel the need to tap directly into y'all experience rather than just hope I understood right.)

    I don't help with stocking, since it is, in my opinion, a very personal choice. Just be sure to choose fishes that will co-exist (check online information or books about your intended fishes) and then don't overstock the aquarium. Less is more.

    You could try a Cardinal fish for schooling. Not sure if your tanks big enough for a schooling fish. Banggai Cardinal Fish - Pterapogon kauderni

    Firefish are jumpers so make sure your tank is covered properly.
