   You can put them in right away. The fish waste is what starts the “cycle”. Make sure that you have used some type of dechlorinator like NovAqua or something of that sort. It will take about 4 weeks for your tank to be fully cycled.

   I would give it 24 hours, just to let the water and temperature settle. You may need to adjust the heater. But as long as the water is conditoned and the temp correct they can go in right away.
