I have a 3XL 900 Red Sea which has been fallow over 14 weeks. Ready to start stocking, and going to have angelfish so would like to add at the same time for territorial reasons, but do not want to add too many too fast.
We have a Queen, and French that have been in observational QT for 60+ days with no signs of any disease or parasites, have a blue face that has been in observation for over 30 days now, and an Annularis which has been in observation for just about 2 weeks (so not ready to move it really).
So want opinions on adding the Queen and French now and in another two to three weeks adding the other two. This would allow the tank to stabilize any boost in ammonia before adding the other two.
By adding in pairs I hope to avoid aggression. Will the Queen and French square off, or with the really different appearance would they leave each other alone? This way I can add the blue face and Annularis later so there are two new targets over one to spread any issues.
Thanks for any input.
