Adding More Fish?

[omega59]

My 10gal with 3 guppies has been up for 4 weeks tomorrow. It is still cycling and i have been doing daily water changes at least 50%-70%. So..... I was wondering would it be safe to add 5 Glo-Lite Tetras or 5 Harlequin Rasboras, or should i wait longer? Also will these fish NIP the guppies?

if the tank is still cycling then you should wait to add anything else to your tank.

Do not add anymore fish at this point, you will only be adding more work for yourself.

Instead, wait until the cycle is 100% complete, that is, you are getting double 0's for one entire week without the aid of water changes. Then, and only then, go ahead and maybe 1 or 2 fish per week.

Ohh okay , are they ok with guppies? What else can be added that won't grow too big for the tank?

nope wont get to big,and yes they will thrive with the guppys,you can add a few rummynose tetras,possibly a few corys.
