I'm narrowing down the last few additions for my ~14 month old 120 mixed reef, which currently houses a tailspot blenny, a Helfrichi's firefish, a C. binotatus tang, a pair for McCosker's, with a magnificent foxface about to come out of QT.
For the last few fish, I'd like to add a few Cirrhilabrus. I'm thinking aurantidorsalis, lyukyuensis, lubbocki, and exquisitas. My understanding is that these four should all be peaceful with each other, and that I shouldn't have any trouble with the McCosker's. Is my thinking right there?
My reading also suggests that adding them all at the same time would probably be the best way to minimize chances of aggression, but that means I have to find them all for sale at the same time, which might be a little tricky.
Given that, what would you folks suggest for introduction order? Exquisitas, Aurantidorsalis, , Lubbocki, Lyukyuensis? Or does it not really matter given all are fairly peaceful? If I can get two or three at once, would it make sense to add them all at the same time, and then add the fourth later on?
