Time to explain cycling to noobs 
Now i got my tank at Petsmart and i was told to put everything in (plants, gravel, etc) let it sit with the filter on of course for 3-4 days and then i can add fish, although they told me i could only add small fish , like school fish. My question is how long will i have to wait to add some "REAL" fish? I'm planning on getting some schooling tiger barbs and/or bala sharks to speed up the cycling process but later down the line i want to start putting some catfish and more in.. help appreciated
