	How long should you wait in between adding new fish?
fishygirl68 Hobbyist Posts: 97 Votes: 0 Registered: 07-Jul-2004	I have had a dwarf gourami in there for almost a month, along with 9 neons. I added 4 neons about a week and a half ago. Was going to buy 3-4 Jullii corys, is that too much to add at once? Around here fish sells fast, if I wait I may not get any more. But I don't want a disaster either.

They say it's always best to add more than one fish at a time, just in case there is some level of aggressiveness. Just acclimate the fish properly and you shouldn't have a problem.
