Do you plan on doing a fish-in cycle or a fishless cycle? If your doing a fish-in cycle, stock it with the fish you want to keep & plan on checking your water parameters daily/doing pwcs to keep the ammonia & nitrite levels under .25. Please read up on fish-in cycling as well so you understand whats going on in your tank.

If you are using media from an established tank start stocking with the fish you plan to keep but slowly so the bb can adjust to the new bio load and check you chemistry regularly and pwc as needed

I was thinking 3 fancy male guppies. Maybe throw in some ghost shrimp........

Cool and if the established media is running on the new tank you might want to start adding fish soon before your bb dies off from no bio load

How many guppies? Is 3 good? Wanted to throw in some ghost shrimp or at least a few

Others may disagree but IMO 5-6 guppies and a few shrimp will be fine with adequate filtration

come get me tang police!
Not to cycle the tank with, I'd put in 1 or 2 at the most until you are certain that the tank is processing the ammonia and nitrite.
