I plan on putting two clown fish and a firefish in my tank should i do them at the same time or should one of them go in first?
 
How big is the tank? Has the tank be cycled and how did you do it?
 
the tank is 13.5 gallons it is cycled and it cycled by live rock
 
I would add the firefish first and then add the clowns, at the same time, a month later. I'd also put in a small bottle of Fritz Turbo or Dr. Tims or something when you add the first fish just to be 100% sure there's enough bacteria in the tank to handle a bio load.
 
If the tank is properly cycled as you said it has been, then it shouldn't be an issue based of the fact that I added 2 clowns to a new 10 gal QT tank with only adding Biospera. You just don't want to add to much of a bio load to the tank and the bacteria not be able to deal with the added ammonia.
