Possible stocklist for 65g

Hi, my husband and I are trying to decide on a stocklist for our 65 gallon tank. We also have a 20 gallon sump, Coralife skimmer, and chaeto (w/ some kind of calupera) in our refugium. It is a reef tank with invertebrates.

Fish we have now:
- maroon clownfish
- purple firefish

Fish we are considering:
- green mandarin (last to be added, after copepods multiply)
- blue reef chromis (x2)
- banggai cardinal (tank raised)
- possum wrasse
- tono's fairy wrasse
- panda or green clown goby
- goby w/ a pistol shrimp

Alternates:
- blue assessor (if we don't get the blue reef chromis)
- blue/green chromis (also if we don't get the blue reef chromis)
- starry blenny
- royal gramma basslet
- ventralis or bartlett's anthias

Will these fish get along? Do they have different & interesting personalities? How many of these fish can we safely keep in a 65 gallon? Is there a different fish you would suggest?

What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance for your help!

(sorry if this double-posts, I keep getting errors)

They Royal Gramma may have a problem with the Purple Firefish. The Possum Wrasse is an awesome fish but they are very shy and will die if they are picked on. They don't do too well in a community type tank unless it is large and they have adequate hiding places.

I had Marine Aquatics order in a Possum Wrasse a few years ago. Unfortunately he was shy and I never saw him after the first 5 minutes.

how many you keep is going to depend upon your filtration. what are you having in terms of a skimmer, refugium, sump, no sump etc.

Well Maroon clowns are not peaceful and I don't know about the fairy wrasse. I think the rest would be fine.

Maroon clowns are bullies... Some draw blood when you get your hand in there habitat.

I've had my possum wrasse for probably two months now and have really enjoyed having him in my tank. Although he is shy I get a glimpse of him everyday when I feed. After being in the tank for awhile he is now brave enough to come out from the rocks and eat some mysis. He is housed with two tangs, a linear blenny, three blue chromis, and two black cinnamon clowns.  I only wish I could get a good picture of him.

Where did you get him?

The Blue Reef Chromis is a beautiful fish but I have only seen them locally once. Maybe they really are delicate shippers?

I had Marine Aquatic order one in for me a couple years ago.
