If the tank is fully cycled then you can introdouce them in any order you want, or all of them at once.
And the whole school at once. How big is the tank?

The cycle status is important since these fish all have varying degrees of constitution. However, if the tank is fish safe already, I'd go cories, tetras, barbs, and finally gourami.

Regular water changes will do a good job in a maturing tank. I'd say 'bout 10-15% every day.

If you have a big enough tank with enough hiding places, pH of around 7, you can keep virtually any fish together as long as all the fish are around the same size and these two groups of fish are avioded: Serrasalmus Tetradon(figure eights and dwarfs are the exception). I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families: Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers. |

Don't think you need to introduce them by order. For aggressive fish you may want to change the setting alittle bit before introducing a new guy in.

add the barbs in first if your going to do it in order so you can get the used to the other fish theyre known to nip fins.and also swarf gouramis get very stressed very easily so watch them closely.

If you spiked on nitrites 2 days ago, the tank is nowhere near close to being cycled. You'll want to wait a week.
