Ready for New Fish - Clowns and Cleaner Shrimp?

We have biocube 14 gallon - got some ick about 5 weeks ago - now ready for some new fish this upcoming weekend. We want to get two clowns and a cleaner shrimp.

Right now there's nothing in the 14 gallon besides softies and the standard crew of snails - hermits - emerald crabs. The tank is 6 months old - with coraline algae and no other bad algaes.

Is it okay to get all three at once?
 
I would hold off a few more weeks to make sure the ich is completely dead (2-3 more weeks for about 8 weeks total)

But you should be able to add two small clowns and shrimp at once... Just test the water to make sure you don't get a cycle and be prepared to do a water change...
 
I would wait 8 Weeks minimum before I put fish back in there. Maybe I am overly cautious, but better to be safe then sorry.
