Decoyarya,

Listen to me, because I have real experience handling fish and aquariums.

I tried to put a fish into my aquarium after 3 days. But this proved too much time. Even though the fish had been in the fridge they sank to the bottom of the tank. I was unable to revive them although I ended up damaging my toaster trying.

So get those fish in the aquarium within say 2 days, I would guess, as long as the fish are refridgerated. (3 days is too much time!). If your fish are not in the fridge, its anyones guess how long.

I hope this is a help.

you only need to wait 24-48 hours until you can put fish into the aquarium.

Check these 2 sites, search for cycling a fish tank, or fishless cycling. Lots of good info.

If you add fish too soon, before your tank is cycled, you'll most likely end up with dead fish from ammonia or nitrite poisoning.

About a week but only little ones danios are strong and corys keep the bottom clean then leasve it for about a month.

I say a months because after two weeks you will be putting stuff in anyway. Tip If your wondering if one fish will eat another. the answer is in the size of its month if it will fit its gone

are you going to cycle the tank with or with out fish I cycled my tank with my fish in it I put in the water and 24 hrs after that I added the fish and my fish are fine and and happy

Wait at least 24 hrs. I personally have a quarantine tank. It is just a 5 gal. tank. I use it as a hospital tank. It has antibiotics s in it to make sure new fish are safe. (Penicillin) Get from vet.

You need to late the tank cycle. This process usually takes about 2 weeks or less. You will see your fish tank become cloudy, and then after about 2-3 when they water looks clear, then wait another 2 days, and then it is safe to add fish. Don't add to many at one time.

its best to leave them into there original tank for 3 hours before you put them into a new one so they can get use to the new one that there in

you should probably wait another 2-3 more days then maby add 1 fish. if you add too many fish all at once the water will become toxic.

---

You should be fine to add your first fish now, then wait another four days befor adding another pair. It takes time for your tank to develop the abitlity to deal with an increase in the bio-load,

The big question is did you do a fishless cycle with clear/pure Ammonia?

If you didn't - then you wasted the last 44 days.
