What order should I add these fish? List inside...

[Brandon M]

I think I have narrowed down the fish I want for my 72gal FOWLR, but I just need some help on which order I should add them. They are:

- 2 Ocellaris Clownfish (Already in tank)
- 1 Racoon Butterfly
- 1 Flame Angel
- 1 Coral Beauty Angel (This one is not a definite...I'm not sure if I want to test it with the Flame or not...although I know if I try I should add them at the same time)
- 1 Chevron Tang
- 1 (Maybe 2?) Clown Wrasse

Please let me know what you guys think. Also, how long should I wait in between fish when adding them? My tank has been up for over a month now with the 2 clowns in for almost 2 weeks now.

Thanks! :bum:

recommend angels to be added at the same time but last of all. Chevron 2nd to last. the rest whenever you want.

How long would you wait in between fish?

IMO, the flame angel won't bother any of the others. I'd suggest adding the tang last if anything but don't feel it's too much an issue with the others. I would, however, be more concerned about the age of your tank. I think your chance of success will be enhanced if the system is pretty well established prior to adding any angel, tang or butterfly. How much LR is in the tank?
I think adding the wrasse now would be fine. Wait another month and add the butterfly, followed by another month for the angel, and so on for the tang. Go slowl, difficult as it is, and let everyone settle in. Add too much at once and you could have problems.

I have 70 lbs of liverock in my tank.

Thank you for the help

Here is the order I introduced fishes to my tank:

_ 1 3 strips damsel, 1 neon damsel

_ a pair of false percl

_ 1 marine beta

_ 1 wrasse

_ 1 sweet lips clown

_ 1 fire-fish goby

_ 1 yellow goby

_ 1 yellow tang

_ 1 coral beauty, 1 blue powder tang

Believe it or not, they'r all sharing a 20 gal reef tank and both coral

and fished growing and getting along extremely well. Sweet-lips

clown shares the same room with marine beta, a pair of clown take

over the front section of the tank, 2 small damsels get their own

hole and respect their own teritories, coral beauty angel and

powder-blue tang share the same room, the gobies get their own

shells, and the yellow tang is happy to goofing around. They aren't

even fight when taking food.

I know my tank is way...way over populated. That's why I'm

working one the 55gal to give them more room to swimm around.

It's me again....

Just to let you know that I used to scare of keeping any angel 'til I

tried the coral beauty, lucky me he isn't bother nipping any coral, most

the time he entertains himself by nipping around the rock.
