Fish stocking after fishless cycle - Aquarium Advice

hoppershaun · 09-10-2006, 01:04 PM

I'm currently cycling my 40 gallon tank using 2 raw prawns. Is there any way of knowing how much fish I can stock to start with when the cycle is done? i.e. how much benefictial bacteria there is

Just start out with 2-5, add some more in a week.

Just add a few at a time. Make sure the few you add aren't going to produce a ton of waste. Four Neons is totally different than four Gouramis/Plecos.

I'm gonna add harlequin rasboras first, so I can add a few of them without causing loads of waste.
