New Tank Build: Which Fish to Add First?
Hello Everyone,
My new tank is done cycling and I have a quarantine tank ready to go. I have a list of fish I'll be stocking with and will be adding them slowly. I know it's the best practice to add the more shy fish first so they can gain territory. My stocking list is below but I'm just wondering which fish is first. Thanks! 2 Picasso Clownfish 1 Bangaii Cardinal 1 Sunburst Anthias 1 Royal Gramma 1 Flame Hawkfish 1 Yellow Tang |

The cardinal & gramma will be the smallest (adult size) & probably the shyest in that group. I think doing the tang & clowns last is a good idea ^.

It depends on the clowns size/age and the breed. My occellaris was added first and didn't bother my tang or blenny one bit. Im sure the size of the tank will contribute different results though.

My big male anthia is a beast. Bullies everything in the tank.
