Hey guys I thought I'd ask for some opinions on add order and quantity for some fish in a FOWLR tank.
Tank is a bit over 500g for reference.
I don't know enough about compatibility for agressives so I'd like to tell you some of the different fish I'd like to consider seeing in the tank and get your opinions on what won't work and what order to add things (simultaniously, triggers before or after tangs, etc.)
So to keep things more specific I've got the questions I've listed the questions in order of preference so the tangs being above the triggers means I'd rather have the tangs to the exclusion of the triggers as opposed to the other way around..
Can I have 4 tangs (specifically 1 each of a Blue, Powder Blue, Yellow and Sailfin) in the tank? AND if so would I add all 4 simultaniously or by some other method?
How many triggers can I get away with (favorites being, Niger, Clown, Undulated, Picasso, Blackbelly) and how should I add them in relation to each other and to the tangs?
Could I have a panther group, and in what order should I add it?
Could I have any lion (favorites being, Volitan, Fu Manchu) and when/how to introduce it?
Can I have a puffer (preferably Spiny Box but any type is acceptable) and when/how to introduce it?
What about Angels (any type really) do they do ok in aggresive tanks and how to introduce them?
What about a Longhorn Cowfish if I can find a large enough? Add it first?
Could I add a Leaf Fish (Scorpion)? At what point would I add that if it matters?
How about a Formosa or Dragon Wrasse, when/how to add?
AND last but not least anything you think i'm missing that I shouldn't be. I quite obviously don't intend to add all the fish listed above even if they would all play nice.
Thanks ahead for whatever input you're able to supply. I know it was a lot of questions to be asking. I'm particularly interested to know about the tangs and triggers so umm... ya, thanks!
