Re-introducing fish after fallow period

[Brieninsac]

I'm getting close to putting my fish back in to my DT after going fallow. Can the fish all go in at once or should they be staggered?

I have two QT's with the fish split between them. One has a PJ Cardinal, Coral Beauty Angel and 4 Blue Chromis. The other has a Royal Gramma, Diamond Goby, Blue Chromis, Fire fish and two Anthias.

During the fallow period, did you ghost feed the tank? If not, I would split them up, maybe a week or 2 apart.

In my experience unless the fallow period was very long there won't be a cycle. I'd put them in and hold feeding for a day or two and slowly ramp up the quantity of food.

If there is any aggression add the more peaceful fish first and progress up the chain.

I did ghost feed a frozen cube of Mysis every three days. Didn't lose any crabs or shrimp during the fallow. I was going to add a bottle of Bio-spira a week before they go back in.
