My next question, how will i know when it's safe to add more fish?

When you have consistent zero readings on ammonia and nitrIte.
And secondly if and when (in conjunction) your existing fish look "happy" and healthy

oh and if you have space of course !

And if all the above are applicable - slowly.

As in one or two per week, monitor water stats regually to ensure they don't overload the bacteria.

I think in that case i'll do another full water test tomorrow and see how it looks. The neons have been happily swimming about in there for 2 weeks now.

Once the water is stable (0 ammonia, 0 nitrite) i'll add some more fishys, been thinking about getting 3 small mailed catfish? Is this a good/bad choice for a newly setup tank? (tanks been going for about a month).

Cheers peeps
