at the moment I have a orchid dottyback and ywg in a 10 gallon QT to be added to the DT May 3rd (after a 76 day fallow period.
I just got a lineatus wrasse, hooded fairy wrasse, and yellow eye kloe tang today. They are currently in a 55 gallon QT. May 19th will be 6 weeks QT and I would like to add them to the DT at that time if all goes as planned. Once the dottyback moves to the DT on May 3rd I plan to QT a couple clowns for 6 weeks. They would finish QT the middle of June in that case.
So the question is, if I add the dottyback May 3rd, the two wrasses and tang May 19th, and two clowns the middle of June will that be stocking to quickly? It’s a 72 gallon DT. At that time I plan to be fully stocked with fish.
 
Okay. Thank you. I’m just trying my best to avoid another tank disaster.
 
Agreed. That time frame should work.

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
