Hi, all. I have a fully cycled 46-gallon heavily planted tank that lost some of its largest denizens last week due to a problem with my heater. I would like to add about 20 tetras (cardinal and glowlight) as well as eight zebra otos. I will have to order the fish and thus will save money if I ship them all at once rather than separately.
The only information I can find on adding fish says not to add more than one a month in order to keep the cycle from crashing. I'm skeptical that's accurate.
Does anyone know of a good rule of thumb for how many fish you can add to a tank, and how often (obviously staying within stocking limits) and still maintain the cycle?
Thanks so much!
