end of cycle water change, tomorrow??

[Dr. Scroggins..]

i know it says in the fishless cycling for dummies article, to do your PWC the night before you add your fish.. of course my cycle is finishing right at the time i'm going to be gone for a day and a half.. if i do my PWC tomorrow afternoon around 3:30pm, could i add 3-5 fish later that night, maybe around 8-10pm??? i'm not worried or asking about the number of fish i can add, but rather if those 5-6 hours after my PWC is enough time before adding a few..??

just don't want my bacteria to die off, or have to worry about someone dosing ammonia for me while i'm gone...

thanks everyone!

you do a large water change to get the ammonia and nitrites out of the water then add fish. i would do the wc go get the fish and add them.

+1 for MG. That's what I did after my cycle and the fish did fine.
