2 New Additions Using an Acclimation Box

[JohnNYC8]

I have a 26 Gallon nano tank with a bonded pair of clownfish. I'm adding a blue neon goby and a cleaner shrimp in the coming weeks. I purchased an acclimation box so the clownfish get to know their new neighbors.

Should I keep the shrimp and the goby in the box or just the goby?
How long should I keep the box set-up before I release the new fish/invert into the main tank?
While the goby is in the box should I feed the clownfish first and then the goby or the reverse? I assume you feed most aggressive to least aggressive but I just want to make sure.

You can probably introduce the shrimp to the tank. 24-48 hours is usually plenty. It's probably easiest to feed the clowns first but it doesn't really matter.

Thank you for the advice!
