I like to plan this out so I avoid any aggression and have a higher chance of success.

If you have the patience to wait until your tank is mature 9 months plus, I would add the ones you have chosen togehter if they are the same smallish size.

Make the transfer in the dark and add each fish to different parts of your tank.
Leave the lights off for a couple of days and avoid approaching the tank except for feeding or you will stress them. Feed in several places so they don't compete for food in the same place.

Also feed them garlic and selcon soaked nori
Good luck
