Yo, it's been 2 weeks that my new tank has been running. My filter finally got started, so 0 ammonia but I still got a bit of nitrite. I added 3 texas cichlids a week ago and they're doing ok (not dead). I'm thinkin of adding a couple more cichlids cuz this guy is giving them to me cuz he breeds them. Is it stupid of me to add them right now or they're not that sensitive?
Let me know
Thanx:headbang2

2 weeks is way to soon..Your tank is not cycled...Wait till all your parameters go up and then down..
 
I would give your tank more time to develop before adding more fish. It is always better not to rush things in a new tank.
