Adding Fish on Friday

[Peedub20]

I am going to be adding fish to my cycled tank on Friday. It is a 40 gallon.

I plan to keep a pair of clowns, two randall's goby's and a royal gramma.

Can I add all of these at once? Or will that be too much of a bioload?

All will be under 2"

Thanks....

If not, how many?

I would certainly not add them all at once. Fish should be introduced slowly into a newly cycled aquarium...1 or 2 at a time, and leave a month in between for the bioload to adapt to the new inhabitants...

you may find a little agression between two gobies of the same species in a tank of that size..

I'd get the goby or rg..place it in QT and watch it for 2-4 weeks..when it is OK place it in the display and get the other of those two. Same thing, watch it for 2-4 weeks and then add it to the display. Then get the 2 clowns at once and repeat.
