Default how long do i have to wait to put another fish in.

hi

i got a yellow damsel 5/11/07 and my ammonia had a spike but i treated it with some ammonia down meds because the ammonia was off the charts. i would like to know how lond it would be intill i can get another fish like a damsel or a clown. if it is a clown can i introduce both at the same because 2 clowns do better than just 1.

If your having to add chemicals to bring the ammonia down that isnt good, I'd wait at least 2 weeks before adding more fish.

Before you do add another fish, test your water and make sure that ammonia,nitrites, and nitrates are at zero.

I have always followed the rule of 1 fish a Week so long as your tests are 0
