I did my fishless cycle with Kleen Off ammonia from Amazon.... http/www.amazon.co.uk/Kleen-Off-500ml-Ammonia/dp/B00755MEMA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1356644189&sr=8-1
Thanks how i set this tank up, had two filters sat in cuboard, took media from my lounge tank, placed in these filters replacing new in lounge, my lounge filter has alot of media in so its nothing to not have replaced at all, but always keep extra in there incase anyone calls me from list, ive donated about 8 people with mature media, no ones ever said they lost a fish yet
I thought it might be a tilapia, but generally, I see them filleted and in plastic wrap more often. Occasionally I'll buy the whole fish, but its packed in ice and needs some proper preparation... not acclimatization. ;-) Parmesan crusted is my preference.
