So, I have been fishless cycling my tank for a while now (a few weeks to a month, haven't really kept track of dates) and am done cycling and am ready to add fish, or so I thought.
For one reason or another, I put my aquascaping off and off, and am at that point where my water is ready for fish, but my tank itself is not one hundred percent ready, as I have not added rocks or caves or anything to go along with the substrate.
I found some really breathtaking EBJD's the other day, and was really set on picking them up, but then I got to thinking about rocks and the tank decor and such. The tank needs some hideouts, and I might be able to go ahead and pick some stuff up when I pick up the Jack, but my question is this: If I add the Electric Blue Jack Dempsey first (because they are some of the best looking I have seen, and I do not want them to get sold before I pick one up) is there any safe way to do the majority of the aquascaping with rocks and terra cotta pots and such later on without shocking the fish due to the changes in PH and such?
