I finally introduced new fish White Cloud Mountain Minnow to Hillstream aquarium (River aquarium). Unfortunately three out of five fishes didn't survive their first week in their new environment. Explanation of what I think happened is at the end of video. Remaining two Minnows are super active and healthy. Reason for only going with five fish in such a big aquarium is that I am planning to stock it slowly. In EP1 I have added "Filter Start" bacteria and some filter media from my other aquarium. Water parameters were tested daily and ammonia, nitrites and nitrates were 0. I will introduce more White Cloud Minnows (from a different source) during next few weeks.
