Question a few short and simple questions regarding fish addition.

so, tomorrow i have the morning and afternoon off, and don't want to be unproductive. so i figured a stop to some fish stores is in order.
first question: i added two corys last friday, is it okay to put more fish in tomorrow (wednesday)? or should i give it until this friday (black friday... gonna be crazy)?
second question: if that is okay, would it be okay to do a water change (about 20%) before i get the new fish? or should i stick with my "established" water and then do a water change 3-4 days after i get the new fish?
any input helps guys. thanks a bunch!

The water change is definitely fine. I'm no expert but I'm also pretty sure that that is plenty of time, just don't add too many obviously.

I think you're fine to do the PWC and get fish today. Just be sure to drip acclimate your new fish! (If you're not sure how to do it, there's a sticky somewhere on the freshwater forum).

thanks for the tips guys, that's basically the same response i got from people in other places. and don't worry, i definitely drip acclimate all my fish, about another hour and they should be good to go in the main tank!
