Cycled my last tank with a bunch of common harlequin rasboras. Put them back in their regular tank when I was finished. I like them a little too much to use them as food because they school very tightly and are cooler to watch than most little fish.

I've always used feeders with no ill effects

I use fish food.. No fish.

i just see that raising the amonia and nitrates... idk thought that might work, but i figure its best to start with feeders to see how they do

Adding fish food or fish is the same thing in the end.

 

[fishnthings]

ok... idk so im not going to agree or disagree.. everyone has their own way and thats yours


anyone second this idea? i want to know if it works!!!!

It's the same as chemically cycling your tank but slightly slower.

I never heard of it. Guess it could work, maybe possibly? I use goldfish. I just haven't taken them out to put anything else in yet. They kinda grew on me. lol
