No. Nothing was cleaned before going into the new tank. I took filter media out of an old hob filter of an established tank to put in my new. There is one tiny firemouth in the new tank he's doing just fine, though. He was kind of my test fish, should I go ahead and put the festae fry in their new home?
Festae fry are here!

Test the water. If you have 0 ammonia and 0 nitrites but you have readable nitrates you're good to go.
Seventy-seven is fine. As far as I know different species of bacteria will serve the same function down to and below freezing. Cold water species have the nitrogen cycle too...
