I have this tank cycled and ready. It's gonna be a community tank with fish and some invertebrates (shirmp, snails, crabs, aquatic isopods if I can find some).
The question is what do I stock it with first? Do I add the fish before the inverts or vice versa? Or it doesn't really matter?

Im not an expert so please take what I say with a grain of salt. I would go for isopods & shrimps first bc they produce less waste, then incorporate snails and after that crabs, so ur tank has time to adjust to the growing load of waste. I’ve had crabs when I was a kid and they were quite messy eaters, aka if your tank does not have the microfauna necessary, it can cause an ammonia spike
