This really depends on whether you have live rock or not. If you have opted to use live rock as a filter, then allow the tank to cycle fully before adding fish. This is generally 4 weeks, but you can confirm using test kits. If you are not using liverock, but are using a canister filter or other type of filter, then put a very hearty variety in serveral days (3 is a good number of days) after having the tank fully setup and running. The only fish that are likely to survive in the first 6 weeks are Damsel fish.

∙ 13y agoif you buy it at pet-smart you get a bag with a fish that you buy and you put that in with the water for fifteen minutes, or until the water in the bag is the same temperature as the water in the tank. then you open it and let the fish go.

∙ 13y agoDon't quite get the previous edit, a 1 gallon isn't suitable for any fish. Anyway, it depends on how you are maturing your tank, are you putting it through the nitrogen cycle? This process takes around 2-6 weeks to complete, varies from tank to tank and the way you are doing it, without fish and with pure household ammonia is the quickest!
Once a tank has cycled you need to stock slowly, a few low waste producing fish first, obviously what depends on the size of your tank, and build it up slowly over the next 2 months! Adding too much too quickly will cause the tank to crash and you could end up killing your fish.

Is it ok to put sea shells into a goldfish bowl?
Firstly, hopefully you do not have goldfish in the 'goldfish bowl' as they need at least 20 gallons for one goldfish. That being said, you can add sea shells to a tank provided that you have washed the shells clean with one part bleach to 19 parts water (1 cup of bleach to 19 cups of water), rinsed the shells very well in water, then soaked it in treated water (water that you have added Prime or Amquel to for example) before adding them to your tank.

goldfish will survive in tap water but it is best to put a bit of chlorine control in the water plus you will need a filter if you want the water and tank to stay cleaner for longer :)
