Vice Versa..It Actually depends on what type of fish..so if Getting fish..get the Shrimp Safe one..Most Reef Safe fishes are..but note there are reef safe fish they prey on Shrimps..Just Look out for them..

cheers!

It actually does not make a difference. If it is a new set up I always try the set up with two fish. Damsel first and later with any tang. Once they r good I get in the others including shrimps. Shrimps are hardy and hence introducing them first won't give u a good idea of the water. Also be wary of what fish you get. Some of them do prey on shrimps.

Damsel for a first choice of fish into the tank is scary

Damsel? Sure regret later.....chromis maybe not so bad

If I were to be given a chance to restart my tank, I will go full herbivores and grow macroalgaes in my refugium to feed them together with pods Tank maintenance will be so much easier.. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
