If i have filled up my new tank mostly with water from my other fish tank will it be ok to put fish in staight away or should i wait a bit?

Its not the water that contains the bacteria
If you have used gravel from your old tank as well
as a filter from it then otherwise

The bacteria are contained in the gravel and the filter. if possible, snip out some media from your other tanks filter and add it to the filter in the new tank. That should see the fastest results.
Adding gravel is good, water isn't effective.
Adding the stress zyme stuff will help, maybe... but not much. Use old filter media if possible.
