So I poped 1 pj cardinal, 2 clowns, 3 blue-green cromis into my 55 gallon that had ich 2 months ago ( so its been fish free for 8 week now ) !!!!

So far so good

Keep an eye on your parameters. Adding five fish increases bioload and the BB may not be up to the task at first.

They are ok I guess today:
Nitrate-5-10? Same colour, guess I'm blind!
KH- 107.4ppm (dKH-6)
PH- 8.2
Nitrite- 0ppm
Phosphates- 0.25ppm
Calcium- 420ppm
Temp 80F

Its the ammonia and nitrites that would be the concern at first. Looks okay though so far.
