What kind of fish do you guys think that i should put in my 30g that is currently cycling. I only want this fish to get the tank farther cycled so the bacteria fields are set up so i am ready for the fish i am going to put in. I have a 55g of SA cichlids so i was thinking of buying a SA and putting it in the 30g then just moving it to the 55. What do you guys think or what would you put in their to help cycle?

I dont want to put feeders or any fish that is too small
 
I've used emerald cory cats and giant danios in the past and had good results. They're usually pretty cheap and stay relatively small.
 
i use convicts and giant danios to start cichlid tanks generally. they are both more than hardy enough to make it through a cycle with no loss, and still live a long, healthy life after. (as far as we can tell)

after the cycle is done, they make nice dithers that manage to not usually get caught (atleast in my tanks)
