yup yup.
I've too many times add new fish when my tank was not ready and I end up taking a big loss and dead fish at the end.
know your stuff and you're good to go.

Those fish grow really slow but they're awesome looking when fully grown. If you have an eclipse hood and a penquin filter on your tank right now what I would do is transfer the penquin on to the other tank and run it there for a while. That should seed your bio wheel which will help you cylce the tank much faster. Goodluck.
Get some Bio-spira and you should be OK. May get an ammonia spike at first and then a nitirte spike, but should be minimal. Make sure the Bio-spira is fresh and has been kept regrigerated. I have used it twice, and it works. I am currently cycling an Eclipse 12 in my office with Tang. Shell Dwellers with some and all is well. After a week ammnia has spiked at 2 PPM and nitrites at .25.

I think the safest way (the one that I ALWAYS use) is getting seeded material from a different tank and using disposable fish. If I am doing aggressive fish I always use small fish that are easy feeders for them. That way they have a good meal when they get in the tank but then again if they dont eat em its no big deal.
