Which fish do I add first? Dither fish or Blood Red Parrot Cichlids?
General rule of thumb is to place the least aggressive fish in first, followed by the more aggressive fish. I think the Dither is a little less aggressive than the Parrot so I would put the Dither in first for an hour or so. I wouldn’t add any of the other fish with your cichlids. I know that is not what you want to hear, but the possibility of them getting injured and/or eaten is significantly high.
