Hi,
My daughter, who is 7, and a wet pet lover, has just got her first tank. 20 gallons, I have it heated and am running a whisper quiet filter with 50 gallon capacity. Set up 2 days ago, no fish yet. She is impatient, but I want to do this right. How long do we really need to wait to add fish (gotten lots f conflicting advice from different LFS)? And what are some interesting, yet hardy, fish to start her out with? Any advice appreciated! Thanks, Miss Magoo:fish2:
 
When your levels read : ammonia:0 nitrIte:0 nitrAte:5-20. That's when you should add fish.
