10 gallon tank?

CYCLE is a product made by hagen, kinda like Bio-Spiria but not as good! Next time, before knawing my leg off, maybe you should seek to clarify beforehand. People have done some studies, and the companies have seen that the bacteria in the bottles are only good for a few generations after added to the tank and that is why it's suggested to be used once a week.
Fishless cycling is definitly the way to go, now only if more people would do it, because you could add a full load right after the tank is done, unlike the traditional way of cycling the tank, where it's done in steps.

I actually missed bethie_dawn's post about using 'cycle' to cycle. I had thought you were against cycling a tank
I agree that 'CYCLE' by Hagen is a poor substitute for the naturally occurring bacteria that develops in a tank. The bacteria they use, while beneficial in nitrification will not survive the long haul, and can actually hurt the natural bacteria growth in a tank and filter media.
Again I apologize for the misunderstanding
I used cycle and it didnt work. it might add a small amount of amonia from the dead bacteria. use Bio-Spira but make sure it is refrigerated or at least kept cool.

No problems.....
Out of all my research I have found some fish I like, please let me know what you think about them and which ones would go good together in a 10 gallon. Please letme know if any of these have a more common name that they go by. Thanks so much

you should choose which fish you want in your tank! but for some advice, i would stay away from the dwarf puffers...depending on which species, you would need to add some salt into the tank. they also tend to nip fins of other fish.
I always liked the 1 Figure 8 Puffer and a bumble bee gobie but your going to have to go brack and I'm not sure if your ready for it, or if you really want to go that way.
