Ok to add all 3 fish at once?

lol also a much bigger system

 

It shouldn't be a problem. If you're concerned at all do a few smaller water changes to combat the spike in params

 

as far as i know, those type fish youre adding are really known as big poop machines. so the added bioload shouldnt be that bad. personally i think you will be fine doing the 3 at once. theyre not overly aggressive fish and will do fine. especially an all at once thing. best of luck puffer.

 

Can't wait to see pictures!!!! ;D

 

Good luck! I would do 1-2 to start off with, and always come back to the third, maybe if they have both wrasse's do them at the same time then come back to the cardinal. Just my opinion though.

 

If you plan to or currently have ornamental shrimp, I would skip the cardinal fish.

 

thats a good idea

thanks so much decisions

will do

yea im trying to decide, i guess it will all depend what kind of coral they have at the lfs, if they have a lot that i really like, i'll probably get 2 fish and use the rest to buy coral

didnt know they eat shrimp, the only kind i have is my cleaner, but he's really big. My mom loves this fish and really wants one, so thats the only reason why im getting it, dont care for these fish myself

 

I came home once to find my large cleaner shrimp's large tail hanging out of my cardinal fish's relatively small (in comparison) mouth. I love bangaii cardinals but until I decide that I like them better than shrimp, I stay away from them.

 

Never had a problem with bangaii eating shrimp.
I added 2 medium tangs, 2 clowns, 5 green chromis all at once. My system is bigger yes but I think you have enough rock. Reduces fighting.
