Hello all!
I still don't have my fish but I have yet another question.
That tank will eventually house a trio of apistogramma agassizii, a school of hatchet and a group of otocinclus. I know that the otocinclus will come last but, according to your experience, what fish should be introduced first? The apistos or the hatchets? The tank is a low 20 gallons.
Thanks for any imput!

in that situation, I would add the hatchets first, not because it's anything big, just that by preference, I always add the dithers first. I don't think that theres any rule that would say theres in order to which fish should be introduced, but it doesn't really matter. You could add all the fish together if you'd like as long as the tank is cycled. cheers. john
