When can I add new fish?

[kb]

I had to treat for ich in my DT and everything seems to be back to normal with all my levels-so, I was wondering when can I start adding new fish?

Are these new fish "replacments" for some that were lost to ick?? How many fish do you have now?? w/o knowing this, all I can say is wait over three weeks, cuz I think that's the entire ick cycle, so if nothing happens for longer than 3 weeks, I think you'll be safe to add a few more fish then.

If you don't have any fish in the tank now, you should wait 3 weeks [a month to be on the safe side] before making additions to your system. Add one fish at a time to avoid stressing your system and to cut back on the likelihood of another disaster. If you have fish that had ick, then I'd wait a couple of month before adding new fish.
