since you just added your first fish to the tank i'd keep an eye on the PH, NO2, NO3 and ammonia, it may kick off a cycle since it went from 0 bio-load to a decent one but sounds like you put all fairly hardy fish in

normally when you setup the tank, set it up, let it run for 4-6 weeks then toss a small damsel in, just 1. that gets a small bioload on the tank to help sustain all the bacteria's growth and helps keep all the above mentioned parameters in check

chances are you'll be fine though just go slow for the first couple of more months on additions

Also, what type of hardware are you running? tank size, sump/fuge, skimmer? that kind of stuff
