fish order

[jstephens24]

Getting together a stocking list and order I should add them. This is my thinking:

(2) Amphiprion ocellaris- ocellaris clownfish
Paracheilinus cyaneus- blue flasher wrasse
Paracheilinus lineopunctatus- linespot flasher wrassse
Paracheilinus carpenter- carpenter's flasher wrasse

then wait 3-4 weeks and add

Cirrhilabrus lubbocki- multicolor Lubbock fairy wrasse
Cirrhilabrus exquisitus- exquisite fairy wrasse
Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura- bluehead fairy wrasse
Cirrhilabrus katherinae- Katherine's fairy wrasse

maybe Cirrhilabrus naokoae- naoko fairy wrasse (Evolved said this was only risk)

then wait another 3-4 weeks and add
(3) yellow tangs
(1) Powderblue tang
(1) blue tang

would also like to add 3 Lyretail anthias. Not sure before or after tangs


does this sound good?

What size system is this for?

waterbox 220 system. 72x25x24. I think DT is roughly 190 gallons

I think even adding at the same time in a 190 you'll have issues with 3 yellow tangs. Blue and powder blue might see some aggression too.

thanks for input. I heard odd numbers would be better than 2 so that's why I went with 3. The blue tang is still optional also. I know they get pretty large

Odd is better than two of them, but there will likely still be problems. The others look good, I'm not the wrasse expert though. Aside from my other advise to quarantine absolutely everything the others look good.

Yellow tangs are fine together IME. There may be an occasional chasing but nothing serious. Hippo and powder blue may work if the same size and added at the same time. I would say, never add a PBT first.

Everyone has their own experience. In most systems like-species of tangs are quite aggressive. I'm glad it worked better for you
