What fish to use for cycling?

[Scottfree]

Someone mentioned on another thread (which I can't seem to find), that there were a few preferred fish which could with stand a good deal of ammonia/nitirte. Therefore, they would be good for cycling, anyone recall what those were???

comets goldfish produce alot of ammonia and are hearty never lost a one when cycling a new tank

Black skirt tetras are good.

I dont recommend gold fish or comets, just my personal choice. I like to use zebra danios or any type of barbs, good hardy fish.

danios are the best imo make for good dither fish after the cycle or snacks but if you want something to keep a couple of blue gouramis are good also ..
