Fish Addition Order

[Squishie89]

I had a guy at my LFS help me with figuring out what order the fish I picked out should go in, but I have made some changes to it and wanted to double check this is still the best order. My tank will be a FOWLR-AI (and inverts).

Stage 1:
Clown fish (already in tank)

Stage 2:
Tribal Blenny (in QT, coming into the display on Friday 4/12)

Stage 3:
Randalls Goby/Orange Stripe Prawn Goby
Coral Beauty Angel
Purple Tang

Stage 4:
Gumdrop Coral Croucher (This was originally going to be a citron clown goby, but I have changed it to the gumdrop, so not 100% this is when he should be going in)
Copperband Butterfly

Stage 5:
Red Mandarin



Any advice/tips/help/etc. is welcome! Thank you.

I think I would add the Purple Tang last.

I think I would add the Purple Tang last.

+1. My Purple Tang harasses any new fish, to the point where he gets time-out in the sump sometimes to let the new fish settle in.

agreed. PT last. The coral croucher(IME) is a very peaceful fish, and could probably be added in whenever. LADD had a bonded pair this afternoon. very cool fish!

So it should be more like this-

Stage 3:
Randalls Goby/Orange Stripe Prawn Goby


Stage 4:
Gumdrop Coral Croucher
Copperband Butterfly

Stage 5:
Red Mandarin

Stage 6:
Coral Beauty
Purple Tang

Thank you all SO much for the help, I truly appreciate it.
