I have a 55 gallon tank that just finished its nitrogen cycle. I am planning to add 7-8 fish as the total amount eventually. I've heard people say to add 1-2 fish every 2 weeks to ease the bioload, but is it still 1-2 fish every 2 weeks for a 55 gallon tank? I was planning on getting 2 clownfish as a starter since they are quire hardy, but is it possible to add more (3 total) at once or is the 2 clownfish more than enough?
Also how long should I wait before adding CUC or a cleaner shrimp? I've seen people add them even before they add the fish, but I've also seen people add them only when they start to see some algae showing.
I'm not in any rush to add the fish, it's just that my LFS is quite far away so I would like to make the least amount of trips possible.
