I'm looking for a good "cycle" fish. I've heard of a bunch of good ones, but no reasons for them... Could anybody direct me t some good ones and also tell me why they're a good choice? Thanks

I wanna do a "mixture" of a tank. With live rock, coral, inverts, and fish. I don't have much of a setup yet...Just a tank and stand. And the stand will probably get replaced, it doesn't look to stable.

There is no such thing as a "cycle fish". The spike in chemicals causes all fish to suffer a great deal of stress and discomfort. For many, it is a death sentence. You don't need fish to cycle a tank. Throw in a small piece of shrimp and let nature do the rest.

It is good that you are inquiring about information before you get started. If you look at the first thread in this "new hobbyests" form you will see the 101 tips. Please start there and then come back and ask all the question you can come up with.

Thanks for that, I've heard that too, as well as a piece of squid.
Thanks Buldog aswell, I'll give that a shot too.
