With fish i thought to buy 3 zebra danios. What fish would you have while cycling the tank? I will take some picture of my tank as soon as possible,maybe i have the pictures on here on monday. Robby I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

Fishless cycling is much faster, it is safer in that fish don't get harmed during the process, and it gives you more beneficial bacteria than you would get by cycling with fish. Fishless cycling would also allow you to add more fish at a time, once the cycle was over. Instead of waiting two weeks between every purchase of six or so fish, you could add more at a time, and go with less of a wait between purchases. That is a result of the large bacteria colonies that would be built up through fishless cycling.
