Hey I want to get some new saltwater fish.?

I have a 40 gallon reef tank and I already have two small colonies of polyps and 2 small mushrooms on a rock and i will eventually get more corals, as you know corals are no fun without fish. I know some fish have to be put in before or after others or they will fight, I need to know the order I should put the fish from this list in. Blue Hamlet, Bi color Anthias (3 female, 1 male), Sunrise Dottyback, Copper banded butterfly fish, Fishers Angel fish, Potter’s Angel fish Multi barred Angel fish (couldn’t make up my mind so feel free to chose for me), mating pair Maroon clowns (preferably gold striped maroons), a mating pair of Scott’s Fairy Wrasse(female first then buy the mail), Midas Blenny and Radall”s shrimp Goby, maybe some cleaner shrimp and hermit crabs. If your wondering im going to put them in at least a week apart, and if you are wondering where im getting my money from, I work at the saltwater fish and garden store so i get good discounts. Help me if you can by giving me the order of which I should put them in. Thanks!

How to feed saltwater fish while on vacation?? help?

I have a 20 gallon saltwater tank with a clown fish and 2 damsels. I live in a dorm and they are kicking us out from Friday the 21st until Sunday the 30th for Thanksgiving break. I went to the fish store where I bought my fish and i thought you could put like a 10 day or 7 day dissolving tablet so they can eat, but the guy said they wont work in saltwater. So thats my first problem. My other problem is that he has me feeding them Brine Shrimp so they arent “used” to flake food. My mother seems to think there is something you can put in the water. Shes calling it a “pill” but i told her there isnt anything. And if there is, its not for sale around where I live. What do you guys suggest I do? is there actually a pill or something thatll dissolve that i can put in there? Thanks

What tropical saltwater fish don’t eat brine shrimp?

Im starting a tropical saltwater tank and I want to grow brine shrimp in with some fish but from what iv read lots of fish would eat the shrimp, are there any that don’t?
thanks in advance.
@BIGgourami – Where do they live in the wild then? and can they live in salt water of the same salinity that the fish can handle?
- ok, but could i get brine shrimp to live in water suitable for saltwater fish?

Any idea what the saltwater fish (Six Line Wrasse) likes to eat?

I have tried Marine Flakes, Frozen Brine Shrimp, and Spectrum Marine Formula. He doesn’t seem to take interest. He does pick at Live Rock occasionally. He has been in tank for only couple of days so I know he is acclimating, but wanted to see if any ideas out there what food works well with the “six line wrasse”?
