I don't think it really matters one way or the other, although I always leave the tank lights off during the first day: it seems to allow the new fish to feel a bit more comfortable as they adjust to their new surroundings.
Our lfs says that it keeps all new fish in tanks in the back for at least a week before moving them out front for sale. If it's true, that's great thing.
i heard your supposed to feed them as you add them, so the other fish wont put all theri attention to the new one, and will focus on feeding.... other wise, i find that saturday around 11:36am is my favortie time to add fish. let it aclimate make a sandwich, put it in, and sit bac and eat lunch while enjoying your new fish... lol
Thanks for the input, all. I know it's a strange question, but I just want my fish to have the best chance in their new homes. (Have I used up my allotment of newbie questions yet?)
