If you want to do things right for the 1st time from the start, you need to cycle your tank. There are plenty of Q&A on this forum on this subject, search for nitrogen cycle, setting up fish tank, cycling tank etc. An example is as follows

Don’t get any ideas that you can add fish the next day or within a few days of setting up a new tank, you’ll almost certainly kill your fish. Even any fish who survive will be weakened and stressed & thus susceptible to infections & diseases. There is no point rushing things, especially if you genuinely have the welfare of your fish at heart.
As for treating tap water, use a water conditioner that removes chlorine & chloramine. Actually it just ‘deactivates’ the chemicals so they don’t harm the fish, it takes time for such chemicals to be removed especially chloramine. You can also let water sit for at least a few days (this is called aging the water), the chlorine will dissapate as it’s a gas & you can help by agitating the water; but aging will not remove chloramine. Even with water conditioners, wait for at least 10-15 mins before using the water.
