Stocking A Tank

[Justaerin]

hi all

Just a quick one, when stocking a tank up how fast is too fast? Is a weekly trip for more fish too often?
How long does the tank need to adjust to the most recent additions?

Thanks

Hi need a bit more info to answer this please.

How old is the set up?

How was the tank cycled?

What kind of fish are you wanting to add?

What size of tank?

if the tank is cycled to the current stocking it would be wise to add up to 25% more fish, allow the bacteria colony to catch up whilst performing daily water checks, then after two weeks of good readings add another 25%......repeat until fully stocked.
