shrimp first.....then wrasses and hawkfish.....been successful in two different tanks doing this.....any shrimp added after the fish are just a meal

If you do a psuedochromis or dottyback add them towards the end....they can be semi-aggressive and territorial


ORA fish are perfectly legal in Canada and a few vendors here bring them in from time to time

Why would you add shrimp last? I have fw angels and actually have added shrimp for the purpose of food. Any fish that can fit it in it's mouth will try if dropped in front of.

For the two fish, I have read that adding them last is the best idea. That way they don't try to hurt anyone that is near their "home"

I didnt say that.....most people that do a reef tank have some kind of commensal shrimp in the tank.....like, skunk/scarlet cleaner shrimp or fire/blood shrimp or peppermint shrimp (*Forest Gump "Bubba" scenes going through my head*)....these shrimp have a couple functions....they make decent scavengers and will perform cleaning duties for your fish..... If you think you may want any of these shrimp its best to add them sometime after the first couple monthes of your tanks life and before you add any fish that may potentially be a threat to ornamental shrimp....
