When to add inverts?

[BristleWormHater]

I’ve heard inverts are more sensitive to changes in water quality. My tank is cycled when should I add my cuc?

I would wait until you have something to clean up. If you don't have algae for snails to eat, you'll have to feed them manually to keep them alive...

Once you get algae in your tank, you should get some.

Others have said it; when you start seeing that brown and green algae beginning to take hold, that's when you wanna start up the CUC. I would start with about half the full population that you intend to have and then the other half some weeks or months later

I would add inverts when there's algea in the tank, or uneaten food, unless you have a goby to eat the uneaten food, if you do have uneaten food, and fish maybe a cleaner shrimp depending on the amount of uneaten food a fish in the tank
