Default What is the best time to add a new fish to the tank?

Adding new fish to any tank is always stressful to both the resident and the

I disagree with those expressing preference to do it with the lights out.
Just imagine yourself thrown in a dark room full of enemies. Where are you
going to hide? can't see!
There will always be fights even in compatible fish.

1. Keeping the livestock to an inch of fish per gallon is my rule of thumb.


?!?!?! INCH PER GALLON? I have always heard more like an inch per 3-4
gallons. 55 inches of fish total in a 55 gal tank?!?!
