That is a question with a complicated answer but I'll try and be brief to allow you to do some additional research.
The first and most important thing is ensuring you have allow your tank to complete it's nitrogen cycle. A quick Google search on "cycling an aquarium" will walk you through this process.
Now the the heart of your question, and why it's not a simple yes or no. Most people now practice what is called the "fishless" cycle, which employs some means of introducing ammonia into your aquarium to begin the nitrogen cycle. Most (not all) fishless cycled methods call for you to add your entire stocking list at the same time.
However a "fish in" cycle in which special hardy species are fish are used to cycle the aquarium requires you to slowly stock the tank after the nitrogen cycle has completed.

What should your fish be in?
If the fish is a coldwater species like a Goldfish it should really be in a pond. If the fish is tropical then it should be in an Aquarium. The size of the aquarium depends on the size and quantity of fish you wish to keep. The basic rule for keeping any fish healthy is "1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water , a cycled filter running full time and a 50% water change every week."
What do you do when your fish is an adult in happy aquarium?
When your fish is an adult, you can sell it for profit or display it in your aquarium. You can also breed it with another adult fish of the same species and different gender. This costs less than buying new fish outright, although there is an extra waiting time as the egg hatches. You can refer to this site for the fish profit. i guess it will help you. http://www.yayeasy.com/2009/10/happy-aquarium-fish-details-and-profit/

How to Create An Attractive Fish Aquarium?
Watching fish swim gracefully back and forth in an aquarium can be a relaxing pastime. And a fish aquarium can also be an attractive item in the home. Here are a few tips for creating a fish aquarium that will look appealing and be a pleasure to own. 1. If you do not have a good deal of time to maintain an aquarium, choose one of a smaller size that will not require as much maintenance. You might also want to consider a freshwater aquarium to start off with, as saltwater aquariums require more time and attention. Later, you can always add a saltwater fish aquarium to your home. 2. A natural-looking aquarium, made up of artificial or live plants, can be a peaceful environment for the fish and an attractive item in the home. If you like a very colorful aquarium, then you might want to choose some of the fancy ornaments that are made specifically for placing in fish aquariums. You can also decorate the tank with colorful gravel along the bottom, which will add even more vibrancy to the atmosphere of the aquarium. 3. For the health of the fish, you should place your aquarium in a location where the indoor temperature will not fluctuate. It should also be kept out of direct sunlight. In colder weather, a tank heater will keep the water temperature at a consistent level. 4. Make certain that you have all of the proper equipment for your tank. An aquarium with dead fish will not be attractive or relaxing. Your fish aquarium should have gravel, a heater, a light, a filter, and places for your fish to hide. Check with your local fish store to see if you have all of the equipment your tank will need to keep the fish happy and healthy. 5. When choosing occupants for your tank, be certain to pick fish that are compatible with each other and will not fight. You will end up with sick or dead fish if you try to pair up inhabitants that will not get along with each other. With the proper occupants and equipment, your fish aquarium will be beautiful.

How To Stock a Fish Aquarium?
Before stocking a fish aquarium, you need to understand a few basic principles about keeping fish. It is easy to go in to a pet store and select the most colorful fish, bring them home, and throw them in the water; but this isn’t ideal for the fish, and you will find your new pets will not last long. The first step in stocking a fish aquarium is to decide what type of aquarium it is going to be. Taking an oversimplified look at this, there are three main choices. You can select a tropical (heated) tank, a freshwater (cold) tank, or a saltwater tank. The main differences being the water: cold, heated or salty. After you have decided what type of fish aquarium you are going to have, you have very effectively cut down the endless choices of pet fish you have to a more manageable number. For instance, if you have a freshwater tank, then goldfish are your best option. Saltwater aquariums should only house saltwater fish, and tropical tanks should contain fish that thrive in warm tropical waters. The next step to stocking a fish aquarium is to decide which type of fish you would like to have. Take a trip to your local pet store, but leave your wallet at home. Instead, make a list of the types of fish you like. Then come home and start your research. Look up the fish you have decided you like and identify the full-grown adult size of the fish. If you are doing a freshwater aquarium, then you should plan on one fancy goldfish for each ten gallons of water your aquarium holds. If you are doing tropical, than a very general rule of thumb is 1 gallon of water for 1 inch of fish (adult size). While doing your research, also make note of where the fish’s natural habitat is, and how aggressive it typically is in home aquariums. Fish that live in the same areas and have similar aggression levels can be kept together. For instance, South American cichlids are very aggressive and should be kept together, while tetras are very peaceful and should not be kept with cichlids. Try and match fish this way and you will have a much happier time with your fish aquarium. Remember to follow the guidelines for adult fish size so that you do not overstock your fish aquarium, or your fish and the water they live in will suffer. And before you add any fish, be sure and research about the different ways to properly set-up and cycle your tank, then only add a few fish at a time.
Should you get the excess food out of your fish tank?
yes! unless you have an algae eater, fish don't like it when you have leftover food, fish foods spoil a lot in water Excess fish food will sink to the substrate and decay. This decay will create nitrates that is bad for your water quality and your fish. To reduce the amount of food in the substrate feed your fish less food and replace 10% of the water in your aquarium every week. At the same time vacuum your substrate to remove the excess food and fish waste. To prevent excess food only feed your fish once a day and only enough that they can eat in two minutes. I do this in the morning then give my 15 fish in a 75-gallon aquarium a cube of blood worms at night. See link below there is a video on how to vacuum your aquarium to remove the fish food.
