When i can add pods?

[Notsolostfish]

My tank is 5 weeks old now cycled with fish. And the ugly stage has started. When i can start adding pods?

Now. Or sooner would have been okay.

Now is fine.

EDIT: I would start with AlgaeBarns Nano Brine,$10 plus whatever shipping. I used them and they reallt helped keep the tank clean.

They're actually pretty robust little critters. They can be introduced right after cycling.
