Starter fish opinions

[Vince272992]

I am upgrading from a 20 gal to a 65 and as my starter fish I'm am not sure what to do I am debating from my current fish in my 20 gal (clown and 6 line wrasse) or 3 blue/green chromis. Either way I am going to get 3 blue green chromis so I am wondering if I should add them as my starter fish or should I add them after my clown and sixline

What are starter fish? Hopefully not fish used to cycle your tank.

no im just wondering which fish i should add first, the tank is already cycled and i want to know which one is better to add first

The most peaceful fish on your stocking list that are somewhat hardy.

I thought the same thing but didn't want to post it.

Come on guys! The starter fish is right next to the alternator fish which is just above the radiator fish! Lol. But seriously, put the chromis' in first becasue the are part of the damselfish family which makes them fairly hardy. The clown and sixline generally hold there own so I wouldn't expect too much aggression from the chromis' when you add them later.

k cool thanks!! and later on i would like to add a carpenders flasher wrasse along with the 6 line, do u think that would work

I agree. Most peaceful/docile first, most aggressive last.

No. Sixline wrasses and carpenter wrasses will not coexist long term.
