Hi,
Actually there are a couple of ways to go about
introducing new fish. Frankly, it depends upon
the type of fish. If they are territorial fish,
then the best way to introduce new ones is to
over haul the ornaments so that everybodies
territory is no more, and then they all have to
"sort it out."
If they are shoaling fish like black skirt tetras,
nothing you do will interfer with the reestablishment
of the new "pecking order."

The best time is to introduce them when you are
changing out the water at your normal interval
while taking the above information to heart.
"Dump" them in along with the new water while
everyone in the tank is stressed.

Frank
