Fish stocking list 200 + gallon

[Denisk]

Fish stocking 200 + gallon

2 bonded pair naked clowns (already added)

3 flame cardinals (already added)

1 Midas blenny

1 yellow coris wrasse

1 leopard wrasse

1 yellowtail tamarin wrasse

1 cleaner wrasse

1 melanurus wrasse

1 copperband butterfly

1 foxface

Looking to see if anyone has any suggestions on how I should add the wrasse. I still want to add a fairy wrasse or maybe a few different species (no more sand sleeping wrasse) . If anyone has any suggestions on a few that can go togeather that are fairly affordable, not 100 plus; that would be great. Id love to hear if you would switch something out or what should be added first. Thanks for the help.

Id probably do away with cleaner. I have one in a 7ft tank and is an absolute pain and bully.
I love fairy wrasses and gave a few.. bearing two digits [emoji7]..so many to choose from. The expensive ones are usually very pretty and deep water. You need a covered tank-i learned it the hard way, they are expert jumpers even through the smallest gap.

Luckily my tank is not only covered but has about 2 ft talk canopy. So I don’t think theyll be getting through that. I’m surprised to hear that about the cleaner, I had one in the past and never had any issues. Since I can’t add all the wrasse at once, would you recommend doing the ones that live in the sand first then add the fairy wrasse afterwards. I’m curious which ones tend to be more peaceful or if the two don’t correlate with each other.

I have found fairy wrasses to be a bit more aggressive.
I have had two peacocks, leopard, ornate leopard, timor, ornate.. they are were fine. Then I added velvet fairy wrasse - boy it was beautiful.. but was the bad boy. I lost a lot of fish when I moved tank.

Currently have s lot of them. I'd let the tank get established and then add the sand dwelling wrasse as they are finicky feeders and don't take to pellets quickly. Fairy wrasses are easier to get feeding and they do like a lot of caves

Good info! Thank you.
