Go from least agressive and work from there. Which probably means starting with the two aussie lungfish. I would give yourself a few days 3-4 in between adding fish. Are the fish in separate tanks right now? I guess the Leichardti isn't going in the 600?
Thanks guys.

This is what I was planning on doing.

And no..the leichardti is not going in the 600 :(

What of the Aussie bass? Will it be gracing the depths of the 600?

Then there are various dithers such as tinfoils which I intend to put in very first to help cycle the tank.

That is what I intend on putting in first...my other stuff has a little more growth to catch up on.
Lungfish
wait 4 days
Sutchi
wait 4 days
Datnoids
wait 4 days
Clown Knife
wait 4 days
Pbass
wait a week
RTGG

atleast that is what I would do! Dats are very skittish when added to a new tank and all they do is hide, Irids get freaked out easily as well, and I have heard RTGG are mean suckers. How big are the PBass and the CK?

Like everyone said ... from least to most aggressive to most aggressive with a few days in between each fish (or species). I don't think it's helpful to say specifically which fish to introduce when, because all fish have individual levels of aggression. So you would be the best person to decide which should be first last.

Thanks guys..I have taken all suggestions on board.

I think the first fish to go in will be the dithers, sutchi and AULs.

They will then probably be followed by my tigers and then later the pbass.

SHAME ON YOU!!!!! :swear:
I know...

But I'm telling you...I am sure he would much rather be out there in the natural sunlight with a 24/7 supply of insects and feeder fish...

Damn that bastard can eat. If it wasn't for the cover, I wouldn't mind betting that he would have eaten birds by now.
