My brother and I just started up a 30 gal tank we had seven fish, two midnight black mollies, Two spotted platys, two red platys, and a catfish. Recently, our tank was riddled with ICK, we have corrected the problem but lost most of the fish. We currently have two red platys and the catfish left,the platy are both male. And I wanted to add females to the tank so that they were not so lonely. We have plants (plastic and real) so there are places for them to hide in. Just needing to know how soon can I get the females for this tank.
 
wait for your filtration system to get strong again because im guessing you took out some fish and it has to get used to the ich chemicals and the number of fish. so wait 2 and a half weeks. make sure your parameters are good, then you can put them in.
 
you can get the females in almost immediately. Just make shure you have at least 4-5 females or else the females will get harassed by the males and that could kill the females
