Help me Stock My ich Free Tank

[Leah]

I think that a good book is a must. If you have a wallet full of money then great...but the point is do you want to replace 1 fish or all 6 if it does not go well.

What's wrong with buying a couple fish and put those fish through 6 weeks of hypo before adding them to the tank, then go get another two fish and hypo those as well? Do you plan to add corals? Inverts? Anything else? Anything wet can carry Ich.

Question, you think the second set of fish would put a lot of stress on the first set, then could lead to ich?

I have always bought and introduced my fish one at a time and haven't had a case of ich since my goldfish when I was seven.
