Hello all!

i am starting my second 125 gal aquarium ever(180 gal total with sump). i am looking at some fish to add first. what would be the order to add them in in terms of aggression, least aggressive going in first of course.

Springer/azure damsel (1 or 2?)

Yellow tang
+
Tomini tang/yellow eye kole tang/blue eye tang

Fox face or magnificent foxface

Yellow corris wrasse

do you have any other fish ideas to fill a 125 gal?

ps: i only have a 20gal QT.

thank you!

they’re very fun to watch in my opinion. they can be real a*** holes to your hands but once they pick their spot/anemone hosts them they will really only bother fish who come too close.
