Hey everyone!

final my tank finished cycling and i added 6 zebra danios.  They are all about 1.2 inches.  Will they be able to eat full sized flakes straight away as i have been breaking them up for them and am not sure if they will eat a whole flake?  Secondly i want to either add some corys and some dwarf gourami could you please tell me how long i have to wait till i add any new fish and how many dwarf gouramis should be kept together?

Thank you! *twirlysmiley*

Feeding them bite sized flake will preven any from falling to the bottom of the tank and decomposing. Wiat at least a week between adding new fish and I thing Dwarf Gourami are best kept in a pair.

As soon as my fish are able..they all get floatting mini pellets. no mess.

Danios are pretty good at getting the crumbs they drop...just feed them lightly(3 flakes) and make them eat what they have before adding more.

If you fishless cycled...you should be able to fully stock the tank. If you cycled with fish, I would give the tank a week at least to make sure everything is cool.
