How Many Fish?
Do not add all of your fish the first week. Add one group then 3 weeks. When
you add the second group of fish add some additional biological starter such as
“Fritz-Zyme”Add a few more fish each month until your tank is fully populated.
Here is a guideline for stocking your tank.
Numbers are based on average size fish (1"-1 1/2") and normal filtration (undergravel
filter with power filter.)
