If you add slowly you shouldnt have a problem. Keep in mind your bb colony is very small right now. Its only large enough too support the waste from adding the flakes. Adding all of those fish at once will cause a huge ammonia spike.
Yea small amount to begin with.
Should I do a water change tomorrow to try and get the ph down? I added a little prime tonight like I was told to do
Ph was the highest level at 7.6. I need to get down to a 7? Ammonia was at a 0.25
Im not following. The ph rises after the water is added to the tank ? Whats your ph out of the tap ? Regardless i wouldnt worry about ph unless your keeping soft water fish. Vijea wpuld probably appreciate the higher ph but will be fine either way. Not sure about the other fish.
Messing with ph can be tricky. I did it in the past and it was too much of a headache to maintain. I honestly never even test for it. But again i keep hardy fish so....

Alright so I wouldn't want to get it down to neutral then? I mean adding prime when I add the fish will help reduce any issues. But it is good that I am registering ammonia correct? I want to have that show up and then go down to zero?
I dont know what u mean by getting it down tp neutral but i woukd only be concerned with the ammonai.
I dont know the ins and outs of stability but maybe see if the bb can convert the ammonia with out the water change.. keep adding flakes. When do.ypu plan on getting the pot scrubbies ? I would try and add the scrubbies and 1 new fish at the same time and build from there
