a few points … first you need at least a table spoon of aquarium salt which is on the counter next to him, two an extra filter size will not allow you to add extra fish, adding to much fish is never OK and third you need the tank to cycle for a week or two with some hardy fish to help that bacteria feed and then you can add the rest of the fish gradualy, I like to start with the smallest first and a week later get bigger fish so the small ones can grow a little bit and become less stress.
thanks
