Wrasses or Anthias first?

[itz frank]

Upgrading to a bigger tank. Have 7 fish coming across with me.

I want to have additional wrasses and a few anthias(3 or more). My question is does it matter which enters first?

depending what wrasses you are planning on getting.

Flashers and fairies only.

Anthias would be a lyretail I believe.

First flashers then fairies then Anthias would be my vote.

Lyretails are pretty hardy, they could be added anytime IMO

Whenever I have tried adding flashers last they ALWAYS end up jumping out of the tank. Decided they're the stupidest fish ever and I don't bother with them anymore. If I were, I'd add them first.

I added a red headed salon fairy wrasse at the same time as three lyretails (1 male, 2 female) with no problems. They went through QT together, including a prazi treatment for flukes. Now, in my main display, the wrasse and the male are buddies - frequently swim together and eat together with no aggression what-so-ever.
