Out Of Curiousity...

Okay, I'm curious to know why some people prefer to do a fishless cycle opposed to a cycle with fish? I've always done my cycling with a few hardy fish (which I add after about a weeks time), what's the difference? and why do people insist that fishless cycles are best?

Because you do not use any fish so they do not go through the stress also after you have done the cycle you can add all of your fish in one hit which is best for some of the more aggressive setup i.e a mbuna set up
