Stocking Order

[tristanlxboyd]

Hi there my tank right now only has 2 clownfish who have their home in a nice nem near the sand, but I'd like to add the following:

1x Mandarin
1x Midas Blenny
2x Hawaiian Flame Wrasse
1x Potters Angel
1x Flame Hawk

What order should I add these fish in over the next several months?

What size tank? Assuming you have a decent supply of pods in the tank for a mandarin? None of the fish are very big or aggressive, but I'd maybe add the potters last.

Says in your profile that you have a 75.

Midas blenny
Wrasses
Flame hawk
Angel(careful with these, usually waste away.. I'd get a preconditioned one)
Mandarin(Only after a year, do you have a sump or refugium?)

You have beautiful fish on your list, and many of them come with steep price tags. I'd hate to see you leave the hobby, especially only 6 months in. Losing 600$ worth of fish will do that quickly to anyone. QT QT QT!!

Be careful, the Angel will eat pods and possibly starve the Mandarin.

Tank is a 90; Check join date. Those figures are from 2008 rofl. Just haven't been on reefcentral for a while.

I would reconsider the Mandarin. The wrasse and angel will compete with him for Pods and he will not do well. Other than that put a lid on your tank or you may loose the wrasses.
I have a thriving 65 gal with a fat Mandarin. I added a Flame angel and the mandarin start to get thin and starve. Put him in one of my other tank and he did well again. Those Angels are very efficient hunters

I would go:

Blenny
Hawk
Wrasses
Angel last

Also the Flame Hawkfish might be a problem for the Mandarin with aggression.
