I have the last of the fish I plan to add for a while. A flame angel, a royal gramma, and a caroenters flasher wrasse.

They are in QT for at least 6 weeks yet.

Currently I see 0 aggression in my tank, I have...

2 ocellaris clowns
1 engineer goby (about 13 inches) which lets the mandarin live with it in its main burrow.
1 mandarin
4 blue green chromis
1 fire fish


My acclimation box got smashed by my toddlers a month ago, and I am wondering if I should build another.

Every time I have used it, I would just feel bad the fish is stuck out in the open, and would just release them after a day.

The wrasse and flame angel swim together a lot in QT, so they are very chill with eachother, the gramma almost always hides. If necessary I will make more than 1 if having all 3 together is a bad idea, or release some into the DT right away and keep the ones that should be in an acclimation box, boxed.
