Hi everybody, I was hoping somebody could offer some advice. I just setup an old 15 gallon tank yesterday and had some questions about properly starting it up with a small stock of fish. I have an extra sponge that I put in my existing filter setup to seed this new tank. I have read that I could wait 24 hours to let the temperature and water stabilize before I can add some fish. I thought I add the established media to the new tank when I add the new fish. I was hoping that the tank would be instantly cycled with a low bioload of fish and no feeding for a day or two, then feeding very little.
I would like to add 3 cherry barbs, do you think this is too many? Does this sound like a good idea?
Thanks
