Hi all. My new (everything) 250 gallon FOWLR, for now, tank (72" x 30" x 26") is ready to start cycling, once I have fish in QT. I am looking for recommendations / opinions on the order I should introduce them into the tank, and how many at one time. Any other recommendations, opinions or comments are welcome.
Wish list:
1) Foxface Rabbitfish
2) Purple Tang
3) Naso Tang
4) Powder Blue Tang
5) Yellowbelly Dogface Puffer
6) Volitan Lionfish
7) Snowflake Eel
8) Emperor Angelfish
Caution list:
1) Harlequin Tusk
2) Clown Trigger
3) Humu Picasso Trigger
4) Niger Trigger
Thanks in advance!
 
You definitely need to put the most chill and non Aggressive fish in first
I planned on the Foxface 1st. After that, I'm not sure. Plus I'd like to add another 1 or 2 with it at the same time. I've been leaning towards adding the Snowflake Eel with the Foxface, seeing how they do and letting the tank mature. I've read that the Angel and/or Triggers need to definitely go last.
