I would follow the directions on the package .
Its intended for fishless cycling of a new tank why would you want to add fish before it cycles??

Put 'em in now.

Put them in at the same time, that is what Bio-Spira is for, it isn't for fishless cycling.....

I would read the directions but I would think put it in, test it and then put the fish in. Common sense..

ill read the full derections when i go home.. but from what i remember it did not say anything other than shake well before use. but in the front it says ....."eleminates Amonia & NitrItes" but how will there be any ammonia or nitrites for the bio-sphira to feed on when im going to use "Prime" as a conditioner which gets rid of all ammonia?????

has anyone used bio-Sphira before?????? can you tell me how it worked well for you??? and should i buy different conditioner that does NOT get rid of ammonia????



thanks
