Talking I want to get...

I have a 29 gallon tank with only 1 fish in there(bicolor blenny), and i would like to add the following:
Six lined wrasse
firefish
In what order should i add them and will they be aggressive towards anything in the tank?

i had a firefish that killed itself cause i was told they are "darting fish" and he darted himself right into the side of the tank.

I have a 29 gallon as well and after i told the LFS the firefish died that is when i found out they were darting and all that other stuff I dunno just a little heads up for ya.

I had a firefish in my tank which got bullied. It just hid and one day I found it half beat up, next day I found it dead!

Add the six line last IMO

Firefish generally don't do well with more aggressive tankmates and six lines can tend to be aggressive. You could look into a goby/shrimp pair, possum wrasse (I love this fish), royal gramma, or bangaii cardinal. These are just a few I like.
