Cycling-add new fish when?

[Lisa]

Awesome website!

I've been cycling my 10g tank with five guppies for four days now. I intend to add a pair of dwarf gouramis, blue rams and agassiz's dwarf cichlids. When would it be safe to introduce the gouramis? Would this scenario be too crowded? I definitely want blue rams, but won't get them until the tank is well-established. Is anyone familiar with the Agassiz's Dwarf Cichlid?

you are cycled when you are reading nitrate with zero ammonia or nitrite. As far as that stocking you listed, yes that would be over-stocked IMO. I don't know too much about the agassiz's dwarves.

Your new tank is four days old. You have some time. Why not get a good book about keeping tropical fish?
