Hello, I set up my 189L discus tank last Saturday, and I was planning to add a few neon tetras this weekend to help the bacteria cycle start up, but I'm wondering if its too soon.
Unfortunately, due to a busy weekend, I'm hoping to purchase them on Thursday/Friday instead. At the moment I have been using "Cycle", "Stress Coat Water Conditioner", and "Blackwater Peat Extract" to speed up the bacteria cycle process.
My LFS is out of master test kits at the moment, so I can only test the pH right now which is about 7.1-2, but I am currently lowering it with peat extract. Basically, I am just wondering if adding 5-10 neons to a relativley newly established tank is a bad idea or not, or should I wait until later next week instead. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thankyou :)
