You can stock as quickly as your tank can handle. We always say to go slow because you dont want to overwhelm your tanks biofilter. So, add fish and test your parameters to be sure your not spiking ammonia because of the increase in bioload. In a mature tank it's possible to add several fish at one time without much of a worry. In a new tank it's more of a worry. Adding several fish at once is a good idea when there is a chance they could fight with each other, such as two Zebrasoma tangs (not sure on my spelling).
IMO a couple fish every two or three weeks is just fine.

Thanks for chiming in. I tested my parameters last night and all were zero except nitrates were a 5. I think I'm going to go with a mcCoskers flasher wrasse. Have any experience with them?
Dude, that's the wrasse I was gonna buy tonight on live aquaria. Such a cool wrasse. I definitely getting one of those as well as a fairy wrasse

That would be awesome. I would love that! Live aquaria doesn't have females though. Do you think my tank would be over crowded or over stocked with a pair?

They are beautiful fish. I've never had one in my tank, but we keep them at the store. I find them fairly hardy and deal with the shipping stress pretty well. All of ours were eating within hours of being released in the tanks.
I think we should all three buy ourselves some tomoro! And maximizer, no you will be fine to add a pair. Just keep an eye on your bioload which I'm sure will handle it. Alright guys, let's get us a flasher wrasse
seriously

Great idea, but I'm still trying to find the perfect blue star leopard.... Not to mention my newest setback with the purple tang. Cough-ick! Ehem. So, I probably wont be buying any new fish for a while. I'll have to live vicariously through you guys.
Just take your fish out and wipe him down with a paper towel to get the ick off
bad joke I'm sorry. Hope you can get it under control as you've done before

lol! I wish it was that easy! Maybe one of those disinfectant wipes? j/k I know I will because I've done it before, it just really sucks. Like gaining the weight back after busting butt to lose it. It happens

Lol nothing a little disinfectant can't cure. Where I work that's how we cure a lot of our problems lol but we also grow bugs. A little counter productive but it works lol.
