I set up my new 55 g freshwater community tank last week but haven't added any fish yet while I'm waiting for it to cycle. I ordered a bottle of SafeStart off Amazon (great pricing btw!) and the directions say add fish immediately. Somehow this doesn't seem right. My ammonia and nitrite levels are awesome and nitrate is in range (thank you ceramic media and gravel from an established tank!) but I'm wondering if it's too soon to add fish. Should I follow the directions and add SafeStart with fish immediately or should I add the SafeStart and wait a while to add fish? I just want to make sure I don't accidentally torture my poor new fish with new tank syndrome!
