Hey guys I have been hypoing a wantanbei female, bellus female, chevron tang, female lineatus and a manicelli assesor(pardon the spelling) and they are just about ready to hit the DT. All that is in the DT as of now are flasher and fairy wrasses and a pair of dracula gobys.

OK so heres my question. What would be the best way to introduce these fish and what ones should be put in an acclimation box?(besides the female lineatus) I was planning on introducing the angels and tang together at once but Id like to hear what people feel is best.

If the angels already get along in the QT (I'm assuming you are keeping them together) then I wouldn't worry. I'd keep the wrasse in an acclimation box for a day or two just to see how the others greet it. All in all those fish shouldn't be aggressive toward any of the new ones on your list.

By the way, I'm quite jealous of that Bellus and lineatus! Maybe one day for me.

I added the angels and tang just after lights out. I noticed a damaged fin on the female so i decided to keep her in there for a bit longer. keep me in your prayers.Im hoping everyone will fare well.

None of the fishes listed are aggressive to my knowledge and your tank is definitely big enough to house them. Nothing to worry about. :rollface:

Too late now but I would have kept the wrasse in an acclimation box for observation and then introduced them all at the same time. I don't really see any problems either way, what fish are you worried about aggression with?
