i got my order from this site today not only was the fish healty but they sent me 2 extras by accident . they gave me a extra porky and koran angel.
one of my porkys has already eaten and i see my koran nipping at the live rock , i did a 20 % water change and added new water i got from shop rite distilled and i bioiled it just in case my tank was only up for 2 weeks cause i transfered my 55 thats been up for 2 years into a 110 you think i will have any problemd my fish are swimming. i ordered a lion attenta and they sent me a radiata that was also nice 2 porkys and 2 korans im upgrading my filtration to a wet dry . i dont want them to die my lion is swimming all ove rthe tank is that ok i think he sees his reflection. any suggestions on how to make the water better i hope i went threw my cycle already cause i did have a established 55 gallon

Adding five fish at one time always has its problems. You really should have gone 2 at the most at one time. You may see a spike in your ammonia due to the added waste generated by these fish. Just test daily for a while to make sure. Also make sure you don't over feed all the new guys. Keep your eye on every thing an illness may break out.
As far as how many fish you have, is the porky a cuban hog? I don't think they can be kept together in the same tank without bickering as well as 2 korans in the same tank. I don't have alot of experience with cubans. As far as size go one koran is more than enough for your tank let alone two. I'm sure its possible for them to get along but as they grow.... I would consider trying to find a home for one of them.
EDIT: you can buy beneficial bacteria to help break down excess waste generated by your fish during this time. Around here its called BIOZYME. It might be aonther product elsewhere.
