Fish Addition order

[jmowbray]

I'm going to try this once again. My last order all the fish got velvet and died in the QT. I want to know peoples input as far as order of addition not only to the 90 display but also to the 20 QT. I'm thinking of getting them in 2-3 batches so I don't crash the QT.

This is what I'm getting.

6x Black Axial Chromis (Chromis atripectoralis)
Royal Gramma Basslet (Gramma loreto)
Male McCosker's Flasher Wrasse (Paracheilinus mccoskeri)
Neon Goby (Elacatinus oceanops)
Vrolik's Wrasse, Male (Halichoeres chrysotaenia)

Please let me know. I guess the main concern is the chromis as far as them compared to the others. Only because there are so many that they will be one order by them self. So should they be the 1st, 2nd or 3rd order and what should the subsequent orders be? Last time I had the neon goby, McCoskers and the gramma together and it seemed fine. In the 90 already is a pair of precs. a orange prawn goby and a purple firefish.

I would suggest that the best order is a function of the order in which you find healthy specimens available. I'm not a big proponent of 'order of introduction' with the exception, perhaps, of a few hyper aggressive species (none of which are on your list )

I mostly agree with ca!ore. If anything, I would leave the gramma for last.
