BNs,

half sized platys
and im not gonna even put down neon tetras

I would stick some guppies in, more colourful than the others.

I used bactinettes and lost a few but mostly they stayed in the filter. Any fish will suffer from a fish in cycle As my bactinettes were not 100% successfull I ended up doing lots of water changes and adding prime to prevent any problems for the fish, we were lucky and did not loose any. Guppys and Corydoras would definatly suffer as they prefer mature tanks as I understand it not sure if the others would fare better. A little patience now will save your water bill or fish shopping bill later trust me!

im ready to do a water change a day

there's no need to cycle with fish, anyone that does shouldn't be allowed to keep them IMO

 

[orange shark]

should if theyve bin fishless cycling for 6 weeks and its stalled.

 

[@ombomb]

good fish keeping is all about patience, not about getting something swimming in the tank asap even if it's not a suitable environment to supoort them

 

[orange shark]

seen as its bin going for 6 weeks some bacteria will be formed and it doubles around 2 days so they should be fine aswell as getting daily water changes.

edit: theres plenty of people who do a fish cycle and I dont see you having a go at them

 

[roseK]

i like corys and and my next small tank is going to be "cory land"

but personally.. i never cycle and i still have some of my original fish (other fish died form other reasons...)

i do ym tank, leave it iver night then stock... it works for me

 

[Aphotic Phoenix]

i never cycle

All tanks cycle, it's just a matter of how.

If you absolutely must do a fishy cycle stock only a few fish, feed very lightly and keep a very close eye on your water parameters.

there's plenty of people that drink drive, you've never seen me have a go at them, doesn't make it the right thing to do

kay, well i dont do fishless and my fish seem find. and this isnt like drinking and driving.. i see it like, if your putting a fish in new water, isnt it the same as a water change? or somewhat like a partial water change
