Heres what im thinking

[tj w]

I want to order a few new fish this week

1 dwarf fuzzy lionfish
1 foxface rabbitfish
1 heniochus butterfly fish
1 longhorn cowfish
1 kole tang
1 niger trigger

Will these be ok to all go in at once or do i need to order separately? Let me know your thoughts on this please

Adding that many fish at once will likely shock your biological filtration and cause an ammonia spike.

What size tank do you have? How longhasit been setup? Are there any fish already in the tank?

I have a 300 gallon thats been up 4 mos. i have about 16 other fish in now and these would be my last

Dropping lionfish off list

 

[tj w]

Would like to order all medium sizes

What are the fish that are already in there? Their temperaments and needs will affect the viability of the list,

 

[tj w]

Yellow tang
Scopas tang
Melunurus wrasse
Lemonpeel angel
Flame angel
Emporer angel
Coral beauty angel
Yellow sailfin tang
Cardinal-3
Purple firefish-3
Marine beta

It was smart to drop the lion, there are a few fish that would have been on his menu.

The rest of the list looks fine, just beware that some niger triggers can be aggressive, especially toward some of the smaller, more docile species, such as the cardinals and firefish.

Great, thanks for the reply. Look forward to getting them in this week. Safe for all to be together in qt?

Lionfish will eat your purple firefish.

Yeah, they should be fine.

Good chance your current tangs wont like any additional tangs.

If an acclimation box is utilized for introduction it should be fine. The tank is 300g and since there are a few already on there the 'tang boss' won't allow the 'underlings' to get too aggressive.

Always a possibility, they are all only a few inches so hope it wont be a problem. But it could be.
