Minimum Amount Of Time To Wait Between Adding Fish?¿?

[jacob]

Hi,
I was just wondering, what is the minimum amount of time I have to wait between adding fish to my marine aqaurium. Everything has been fine since I got my fish on 7-22-01 so I am wondering what is the very soonest I can add my next fish to this aquarium?
Thanks!
Jacob

i would wait 2 weeks to add another fish so you dont stress them out you are quarenten your fish write once new fish is doing well and showing no signs of disies wiat tow weeks add it to your display tank. you can add fish sooner but realy is on type fish it is for exempal i wiat 4 weeks after i buy tangs before i add to display tank is alittel much but tangs can stress esey good luck

wait two weeks. then buy the new fish and q it for another week or two. then when you are sure hes ok you can add him to the tank. bo

This tank has only been setup for a couple weeks.You are surly still in the cycle....How big is this tank?? What are the readings??? What fish are in it now???Advise about adding fish can NOT be given without knowing this info...But realistically, You should wait till the cycle is compleatly done before you add any more fish...

by all means, Mr. Salty has made a great point. Patience is of utmost importance!!!
You have got to check the levels, allow the tank to "cycle" and begin to stabilize.. beyond that, I normally wait a minimum of 2 wks. between additions, and then it would be a "small" addition. Give us all the reading you can, such as ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, ph, salinity...all of these will help "gauge" the status of your system...
hope this helps....Just remember, slower is better.

Jacob really did noy provide enough info about his tank. How much if any live rock and sand were used?
