Can you put tropical fish in a tropical fish tank as soon as you get it

Question

I am getting a tropical fish tank today, it is 15 ltr can i put fish in as soon as i get it? Also how many would i be able to put in it.

Please help

THanks

Answer 1

No, you need to let the tank alone for a few weeks to let it stabalize.  Google "aquarium cycle" and start reading.

That tank is only like 4 gallons.  The only fish you can get is a betta.  Maybe some shrimps.  Get a ten gallon and you have alot more option and it would be alot easier to take care of.

Answer 2

no you can't

it needs to cycle first

read up here on how to do it properly

this is only a 4 us gallon tank, so you're very limited on what fish you can get

as example

1 female or male Betta

3-5 cherry shrimp

or

3 male guppies

3-5 ghost shrimp

Answer 3

I would say wait a week so the tank can get to a good temperature. Add the fish with in the week they should be fine. you can have About 5-10 small fish i would say and about 5 medium size?:) hope i could help.

Answer 4

No, you need to make sure that the water is the right temp or at least let the fish get used to the new water by just laying the bag in the new water for about 30-40 min. before you open the bag and let the fish out into the new water

Answer 5

no leave it about a week to get up to temperature then add about 4/5 fish wait another 2 weeks see how the fish are and then add more:)
