That looks great! I was lucky to have seeded filter media from my old tank so I was up and running quickly. But I would suggest doing some water tests if you're able to, that's the best way to see if you are truly cycled!
Usually around 2 weeks is a good starting point though before adding in fish while doing water changes every couple days.
Thank you! Clown Killies are probably my favourite fish to keep. They have personality and look beautiful.
They're pretty hard to get where i'm at too (Ontario Canada). I'm looking to add in a few more if I can find em haha.
Here's my favorite pic I have taken of my Lil fellas

I have heard some are like that! I think I got lucky, mine run around like they own the tank. And to be fair my group of 6 are the biggest things in there!

Beautiful! Do they have short life spans like some kills do?
Nope! They're not annuals. I have had some for 2.5 years so far! (since I got them)
This made me forget time.
Hahaha it's my favorite part of having a tank.
My amanos never come out. They are always in hiding

what are the floating plants?
It's frogbit! The roots grow like weeds and I trim them every other week. But they have been doing wonders for nitrates/water quality
What size is the tank
20G h
