Thanks for the relevant opinion Whitey.
For everyone else - If you don't have anything helpful to add then please refrain from stirring the pot.

I will most likely get flamed for this but .... I always add my fish in groups of two to three when I can. I do this because what I found is when I added 1 fish because I have an agressive tank the new fish seemed to be harrassed but when multiple fish are added there is a confusion effect that comes into play.
I think you are fine adding two at one time - but that is just me

If you really are looking into adding these in the future, you need to practice patience now.. I am not flaming or lecturing you about cycling with fish. But if you truely want your tank to be 100% successful, slow down and do alot of research.
2 Powder Blues in a 90 gallon tank???? This is not a good idea, and they will outgrow that tank in leaps and bounds. Its not enough room for one, unless you got him at 2"

what if i added ,
next ,
in mid april ,
a coral beauty and a zebra lion (both dwarfs) at the same time -
would that be ok - both at once , ?
would those 2 go with the pr of clowns ?

As long as your clowns are decent sized you should be fine.
Dwarf lions will still eat fish they can fit in their mouths.
Adding 2 fish at once is fine as long as your water parameters are where their supposed to be.
But after doing that don't add anything else for a while.

thx whitey,
when you say don't add for a while - that means i should wait another 6 wks - for another cycle to to complete , correct ?

LOL. You have no idea how funny this is coming from someone such as yourself.
