I'm planning on adding 3 Apistogramma cacatuoides to my 130l tank, currently there are 7 leopard danios, 4 panda corys and a BN plec. I intend to get 2 females and 1 male however I can't find any information on the order to add them to the tank in. So I've been wondering if I should add the 2 females then the male, the male and then the females or all 3 at once.

thanks in advance.
 
All should be added at the same time, make sure you have plenty of caves for them.
 
Add them all at once. The corries might be a threat to the apistogramma though. They seem to think that the corries are in their area, and attack them. They corries are also prone to eating the eggs. Other than that, your tank sounds fine for the new addition.
 
Thanks for the replies, I'm not too bothered about breeding them as I'm away at uni quite a lot and it wouldn't be fair on my mum who looks after my fish to have to deal with fry. If they breed and some survive great can cash in for store credit if not no big deal.
