is it fine that i add water conditioner,stress zyme and coat wen i add a fish to my tank or can that be dangerous

It isn't really necessary, but I don't think it's dangerous.

Although if you are only adding fish, why would you need to treat w/ water conditioner again? You should only need to use the water conditioner when you do a water change IMO. Though I also think stress zyme is a good idea.

thanks ill remember next time to hold back on the water conditioner but ill add some stress zyme and i think stress coat could be helpful too if i have had some fish in the tank for a while without a change becase it can cause some stress but thanks for the info

I add a few drops to the bag I buy them in while the bag is still floating in the tank to equalize the temperature.

I've never added it, and never had a problem. Certainly no need to treat the water, but it couldn't hurt at all to add the stress coat/zyme. I wouldn't add the full does however. Try the few drops in the bag idea.
Some Fish stores will add sedatives, or even some salt or some other things to the water that is in the bag, so you don't even need to add anything. I know that where I work, we add a mild sedative, and there is already salt in all the tanks, so something like stress coat wouldn't even make a difference. Just make sure you float the bag properly, and acclimate the fish well before releasing it into the tank.

Tankster what do you mean a "sedative"? Where I work we just use compressed air to fill the bags.

I agree with you it is too difficult to read.
