question is, once my new 75g tank is ready for fish, who and how do I start adding my current stock and my new comers? which species first and moving to the last species to add? keep in mind my current stock from my 20g is going to my new 75g tank. here is my current stock:

20G/Marineland Penguin 150 BIO-Wheel Power Filter/penguin powerhead/Tetra Whisper Submersible Heater.

2 Sunfire platy
2 Neon Tetras
4 Otto
2 Clown Loach
1 Leporinus Fasciatus
1 Neon Gourami
1 red Gourami

here is my add-on stock:

2 Pairs Bolivian Ram
2 Pairs German Blue Ram
6 Boesemani Rainbow
2 Praecox Rainbow
2 Otocinclus Catfish
12Cardinal Tetra or 6 True Rummynose Tetra or 12 Noen Tetras
1 Golden Nugget
and some shrimp don't know which ones yet.

Tank setup:

If you are moving everything move the filter and the fish all at once. Leave the old filter running for 6 weeks or so and you are set. Add other fish slowly. I would add the rams last and the rainbows first, followed by the tetras.
 
Well those new fish you want are a bit sensitive, except the rainbows. You should be able to put all the ones from the 20 to the 75 at the same time, but add the new ones slowly. As rich said, the rainbows first and the rams last would be best.
