    Adding fish

    I want to add some chromis to my new FOWLR tank.

    Everything I've read said they like to school. Was wondering how many blue or green chromis I can add at one time? I would like to have maybe 7 in the school.

    In a 100 gal. tank, could I add all seven at the same time or should they gradually be added?

    The tank and LR have been up and running for less than a week. Check water every couple of days. Ammonia is between .25 and .50 as of today, but trites were off the board, 5+.

    I'm obviously still in the cycle stage so I'm not adding fish until it's time. Just doing my research

    Also, here is my fish "wish" list

    - couple of clowns
    - school of chromis
    - yellow tang
    - bi-color blenny
    - flame angel

    Which of these should be introduced first/last?
