I want to add 2-3 wrasse and 2-3 tang in my tank to add some movement and activity. Which group should I add first? Or would it even matter? I'm just sure I don't want to add one fish at a time to curve aggression
Which to add first? Tangs or Wrasses?

Why do all your fish look like trout?
How big of tank? What type of wrasse and or tangs? I would add the wrasse first.

Thank you. It's a 90 upgrade to a 135 soon. I want a tomini and yellow tang for sure maybe a powder blue as well. Wrasses I'm not sure except the radiant wrasse and some type of leapord

Tomini and yellow tang. Possibly a powder blue. And the wrasse I'm not sure about except a radiant and some type of leopard wrasse

3 tangs in a 90 isn’t kind, but especiallly the powder blue. That’s not going to end well, stress and aggression will be bad.
Start with wrasse :)

Really appreciate the feedback. Was only thinking of stocking one because I'm upgrading to either a 135 or a 180 in the next 6 months. I guess it'll be better to just wait on that
Even in a 135g they get boisterous. I would consider 180g to be the minimum size.

The more I talk about it the more I am convinced to go with 180. Go big or go home!

Go 180g...you won’t regret going big but you will regret going smaller and will eventually end up going big. Been there, done that (own a 240g now). [emoji3]

Your chooses for the three tangs in a 135 will do fine, make sure the powder blue is last. I had a hippo, chevron and powder blue in my 135 added in that order and they lived fine.

That's great to know. Thought I had to add at the same time. I really love the look of powder blue tangs.
Leopard wrasses are pod eaters so not the best choice for a new set up.
I've got a 210 running with purple, blonde naso, red sea sailfin, and powder blue. I have a yellow tang that the purple turned on, in another tank that's fat and happy again and ready to try and get back into the main tank.
Plan is to catch my occelaris pair in the 210 then swap them into the 60 cube, putting the yellow tang and a pair of akindynous clowns in the 210, peacefully hopefully.
