My fishless cycle was completed early this week and i did a 50% water change and on wednesday night I went to the petstore with my friend (who has about 5 fishtanks and knows what hes doing) and i got some fairly hardy fish (because after the water change my Nitrites went back up to .5)
I came home with 3 peppered Corycats and they are doing really well.
Its been about 3 days, no problems, chemicals are doing fine (though my nitrates are in between 20 and 40. In my book it says 40 is the max you should have.
When is ideal to add more fish? Is there any general procedures as to how often you can introduce new fish to a tank or is it completely up to me?
Any advice would be great, also if my nitrates are too high tell me. maybe i should do a PWC ?
also: what fish would be a good next addition
(im thinking a pleco, tiger barbs?, serpae tetras?) as far as what i eventually want in my tank
