Water Change With New Fish

[neesymac]

I am soooo stupid - i have just bought 2 bleeding heart tetra's and they are settling in well - my water levels are normal but i am due to do a water change tomorrow.

Will this cause any distress to my new fish or am i ok to still do a 15-20% water change?

If i were you, i'd leave it an extra day, as if you're water levels are fine, an extra day wont hurt.
.
EDIT: Also, bleeding heart tetras, and most other tetras are shoaling fish, you'll need more than 2. Preferably 4+.

Thanks Luke - Should i wait a while for these or maybe buy some more tomorrow?

I'd get them as soon as you can, there isnt a rush though, but i'm sure they'd prefer a bit of company, so dont leave it too long.
Glad i could help Neesy.
Good luck.
