"New "Tank

Recommended Posts

well i have to agree with the shop owner. i have always been told as little as 3-4 fish at a time and always went by it.

 

thankfully in all my 12 years fishkeeping i have only had minamil loss at introduction stages. and most of them have been the usual suspects ( guppies,tetras and the like)

 

so yes with any tank but mainly a large one i would agree a waiting period of at least 4 weeks to mature tank and then introducing 3-4 at a time.

 

my one last little bit (works for me at least) is over the maturing stage add some flake food to the water this decays in the water to provide substance for important bacteria. another help if you have it is to add water from an already mature inhabited (healthy) tank
