Hello all,
I am stil researching and I KNOW I need to cycle well first and all of that....but my question is, when it is time to stock my tank and I want a school of fish.....is is ok to just get 3 and then in a few weeks get 3 more and so on until the school is the size I want?
I read something in a book that suggested you purchase and entire school all at once or they may not school together properly....is that true? If so, how do you handle all the increase n bio load? It seems wrong to me, so I thought I would come to you all for advice.
I have always thought you should add slowly...am I correct?
Also I live pretty far from the LFS so I would only be able physically to add fish once a month or so.
TIA
