Adding fish

[Aquaholic]

Hey guys!
My aquarium has successfully cycled and I am ready to add the fish! I’m getting 6 neon tetras and 6 Cory catfish to start out. (I don’t have a quarantine tank) I’ve heard you place the bag the fish are in, into the aquarium and let them float in there for about 15 minutes before adding them to the tank. What is the best way to add them? Seems simple but would like to know your methods or if there is a right way in doing it without stressing the fish out too much.
Thanks guys!

That is all i do, at least. If you ever have fish shipped to you, that is by far the best way.

You don't need to quarantine the fish, just add medication to the whole tank, it's the same as quarantining. Float the bag for temperature and every 15 minutes add a cup of tank water to the bag. I like to do that for at least an hour. Also, what is the tank size?
