Hey everyone! Soon I will be starting my very first aquarium and I'm near the end of the planning stage (I'm also trying to find a decent stand), I'm just doing a little more research on cycling before I start and I have a few questions.
Firstly, once your tank is fully cycled by using the 'fishless cycle method' can you add more than 3 fish at a time? Or is that for fish in cycling only? Because if you can add more than 3 I was planning on adding one type at a time then waiting at least a few days between each.
Also is there a specific order you should add your fish once it's cycled? After doing lots of research and planning my stocking amounts with the help of aqadvisor, I've decided on getting 1 male Betta, 6 peppered cory and 10 cardinal tetra. Now from what I've read each has their own preferred dwelling area so since cory's are bottom dwellers would it be best to add them first then the tetras and finish with the betta?
My tank is a 23G Blue Planet tank if that helps.
