Third week in!

[SlicVic]

Hi everybody! I just finished a week 3 of patiently waiting for my tank to cycle! Ammonia and nitrite are reading 0 and there's just a slight amount of nitrates. Am I supposed to do a water change now before I add an animal? I don't want to hurt any creatures so I wanted to make sure I do everything perfectly correct! Let me know ASAP cuz I'm getting antsy!

If you’re numbers are good try a fish. No need to water change!

There’s only one way to find out if you’re ready now! Be confident! But know in this hobby you will kill something eventually. It’s ok.

Toss in a pair of clowns, no need for a water change, nitrate is fine mine are constantly at 5-10 ppm. Don’t feed first day and make sure not to overfeed and just keep checking params

I accidentally flushed a brand new watchman goby down the drain the day after I got it because it slipped into my sock within an hour of me having it and I didn’t check when emptying out the sock

I'm kind of afraid of clownfish because I've heard so much black about how territorial they get and can be mean to other fish. Is this true? I was going to put a pajama Cardinal fish in there first. What do you think?

OMG! I would be sobbing for days! I'm just a little too sensitive but that's also one of my best qualities!

Many people recommend clowns first because they are really hardy but I'm not one of them. Clowns tend to be territorial so I would add another easy-to-keep first fish and clowns only near the last, if at all. The cardinal is a fine choice.

Fantastic! Pajama Cardinal it is!
