Plants? You can add them anytime, just put them in a hydrogen peroxide dip with water to get rid of any parasites.

Doing it during a pwc makes it easier for you.... that's about it that I know of.

thanks for your help!!! now i have another dumb question is there a limit on the plants per gallon???? and about the fertilizer how do i do that????

There shouldn't be a limit.

You can use root flourish tabs, which you put under the plant in the substrate or liquid type that just goes into the water depending on the size of your tank.

oh ok its a 75 gallon tank....... this is a pic of it before i added the plants in the middle and i currintly have 1 rainbow shark, 1 pictus catfish , 1 huge pleco and 8 tb

You can use either type, most people like root tabs.
I use liquid fertilizer just cause my plants don't require much care.

Btw, nice tank!
