Views On Adding Two Fish at the Same Time

[The Saltwater Kid]

I am adding my last two fish to my BC29 mixed reef. They will be a Flame Hawkfish and a Flameback Angel (I know the risk involved with this fish). I was wondering what your views are of adding them both at the same time? Or should I add the Flame Hawk first and then a week or two later add the Flameback? Thanks for any opinions .

I think they should be fine added together

yes you should be fine.

Two different fish, they should be fine. I say go for it.

Agree with the above

I think it is a good idea to add two fish at one time. The aggression from the older fish that are currently in the tank will be shared .Hopefully cutting down on the stress.

i usually add several fish at a time for that very reason. tangs are very aggressive so measures must be taken and i find that adding multiple fish helps spread aggression

Nice, that's what I was thinking as well! The current tank residents are a Starry Blenny and an Ocellaris Clown. I was actually more concerned with the Flameback Angel as everyone always says to add Angels last because they can become extremely territorial but I was hoping that by adding him along with another fish at the same time that it might throw his territorial instincts for a loop long enough for everyone to become established so I have a happy tank .
