first fish after cycle?

[jacrmill]

ok my ammonia is down to 0 and my nitrites are down to under .1. thats good cause the shrimp in there is getting nasty. once the nitrites hit 0 i am going to do a 20% water change and then wait a week. is a good fish to add then a royal gramma? hes one i want and i know he is hardy but is he ok to go in right after the cycle?

Do you have live rock? they like caves. They can be hardy and should be ok.

My first fish was the royal gramma, he seems very hardy. Likes to eat just about everything. At first he liked to hide in caves, but now he barley goes in his cave, (the coral beauty kinda took it over ) but he loves to swim the whole length of the tank. I don't have any live rock in my tank, but putting a lot of hidding places in the tank is good advice, most all fish love caves.
