goin tetra

Hi guys, again i am gonna try to upgrade my tank. I want to add at least 5 neon tetras.I've read that the water in my tank has to be "aged" but the thing is my tank is due for a thorough cleaning.What do you think?

What size tank do you have, and what is in there?

What are the water test results?

Most of the time I don't suggest what you are talking about a "throrough cleaning", unless you have a known desease. The most I ever do is vacuuming the gravel, 25-50% water changes and swishing the filter media in discarded tank water.....What more are you planning?

If you do more cleaning than that, I would suggest you wait through any mini cycle it would cause before you add any more fish......

Pinky, if you are still in your 10 gallon tank, you shouldn't add any neons.

With 2 guppies and a molly you are at about max on fish as it is.....Neons should be in a school, and 5 would be another 7.5 inches of fish....that would put you at a total of about 15 inches, ......I bet if you looked on craigslist you would find a 30-55 gallon tank you could afford, then you could get some more fish.....
