heavenly damsel

Husband insisted on damsels to cycle the new tank....I didn't want the hassle of trying to catch them later to return. The LFS said I could cycle with chromis and no need to remove them later. Anyone here ever hear of this?
How long did it take to cycle? What size tank....thanksi cycled with 1 green chromis, a three stripe/humbug damsel, and a yellow tail blue damsel, they made it fine until i put my lion trigger and wrasse in. feeding time after that.
I just wanted you to know I didn't mean to direct anything at you. I'm just disappointed that hobbyists are still advising those new to the hobby to use live fish as an ammonia source to start a cycle.Lesson learned...won't be doing that again. Why do others say their fish made it through the cycle with no problem...just curious...makes me wonder maybe they just lied to get people to harm fish because ninety- nine percent is a pretty much sure thing and if that is the percentage and people know that why would so many fish lovers intentionally hurt..or better..kill...a fish? Just thinking out loud....
