If you look in the newbies for the fishless cycling thread it will explein everything you need to know about getting your tank ready for fish, good luck.

i would wait till it has been cycled before adding them

guppys can only put into a tank that has been cycled for a while and should be 1 of the last fish to add to you tank b/c of them being to sensitive, they can only be added to a new tank when youve used mature filter media to set it up with and then it should be after about 5 days before you do ideally.

if you havent used mature media then you need to add a couple of hardy fish into it when its cycled to mature it on for a while longer.
