After a lot of research and thinking I have decided to add one clown and one six line wrasse to my 16g tank(anyone one has better combo, I am ready to listen).

Now the question is, which one should go in first?

Btw that is all I am going to have as far as fish goes (well, maybe one more; a bi-color pseudo).

What type of clown? Add the least aggressive fish first.

I was thinking of adding a Percula Clown. So clown will be the least aggressive ? Even though its a damsel?

Ive read its always better to add both fish at once. Reason being, if they enter at the same time they dont have established territory that their fighting for.

Thanks guys, I will add both at the same time.

I hope they don't jump out as I have an open top.

with that small a tank though wouldnt adding two fish at once be a real shock to the bioload causing it cycle again. i know i have always taken the safe side and never added more than 1 fish every 2 weeks to my 125g, so 2 at once in a 16g just seems like alot to me.

Well I have about 30lbs of live rock, 20lbs of live sand. Fluval 404 canister filter (filled to the max with ceramic). AC 200 filter and Prizm skimmer. I think my system can handle some bio-load. Especially when I always have 0ppm on the Nitrates.:)

yeah with that much LR and othre filtration you will more than likely be fine. i would still keep an eye on it though... :D
