Pakal Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I'm new to the hobby and I have a 10 gallon cycled and ready to go. I'm planning on stocking it with 4 corys and a bachelor group of 4-5 endlers. I was wondering if I could add in both groups of fish at once today or if I should add 1 group this weekend and the other group next weekend.

Levi_Aquatics Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 You could probably get away with putting them all in at the same time, but if you want to play it safe you could do it over two weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorydorasEthan Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I second what @Levi_Aquatics said. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmcloonan Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 How long has it been cycled and how did you cycle it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmcloonan Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Just add them and check your ammonia and nitrite if you suspect there is a problem. Worst case you do a couple water changes while your filter material tries to catch up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaAggie Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I would caution that corys can be very sensitive to nitrite spikes. Learned that the hard way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT_ Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I used TSS too and never saw nitrite. I think the nitrite consuming bacteria ramp up faster than the ammonia eating ones. YMMV of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
