Am I ready for a small clean up crew?

[BigBohlin]

So I just recently started a Fluval Evo 13.5. It currently is the home to two ocellaris clownfish that I completed a fish-in cycle with. I’m starting to notice algae growing, I’m going to attach a picture. My question to y’all is, do you think that I’m ready to add a small clean up crew? If so, give me some recommendations on what to add! Thanks!

I'm glad you asked.
I have been wanting to put in an order for some snails and stuff, check them out!

I think you are looking at golden diatoms on your rocks.

If all boxes are ticked for a cycled aquarium, you're most definitely ready for a clean up crew.

Diatoms are normal for a new tank. I personally would just let it be; it'll eventually go away on its own. However, once you notice more algae starting to grow, then I would start looking into getting CUC.

Probably would be okay with a couple hermits or even a shrimp, they'll eat any food stuffs your clowns don't eat, but wait a bit longer before adding snails. Your rock is still very white/clean and they wouldn't have much to each.
