Hello. So last weekend I bought 3 glofish tetras and 1 barb (red starfire). I put them in a 6g tank with tetra safe start. I realized that these fish would be unhappy despite what the idiot at pet smart told me and immediately bought a 20 gallon tank so that I could add 2 more tetras and 5 more barbs so that they could school which i didn't know they did until i researched myself.
Upon reading I realized I messed up trying to start my new 20 gallon. I tried to do the right thing and let it cycleand I put in tetra safe start plus with the intention of running a fishless 24 hr cycle and then going to the store and combining them all in a safe tank . Here are my questions:
1. What do i do now that i already put safe start in and have no fish inside ?
2. When i get this tank cycled properly with your help, do I add the new fish in first and then the ones I already have from my 5 gallon another day? Or add them all in at once.
I'm trying to do this right, please help me and tell me what to do from here.
