Oh, I assume your cycling it at the mo, yes? If not, read esfa's thread on it. If you are: well, wait for the ammonia and nitrite to go down to 0 before adding any fish.

Nitrite stops oxygen being absorbed from the water, via the gills, by taking up binding sites on the haemoglobin I believe... either way, its a sure-fire way to kill or stress your fish.
