Hi, I’m getting two Darwin Clowns tomorrow from Cultivated Reef. There were shipping problems for the day I wanted the fish to arrive. It cost $20 extra for fish to arrive that day. A person working there texted me, and said it would be better for the fish if I picked a different day. I ended up choosing tomorrow. But, since I spent the $20, the person helping me suggested I could get another fish out of a couple options. I ended up choosing an Orchid Dottyback.
Also, to mention, I just finished cycling my tank, and my tank is an 20 gallon all in one.
Is getting these three fish okay?
My ammonia is measured at 0ppm
Nitrite is 0ppm
And nitrate is 5-10ppm

Best course of action would be to subject these fish to quarantine before adding to your tank. Here is the site recommended procedure. In doing so you will give your tank more time to prepare as well as ensuring safety.
