who even recommend you cycle tanks with damsels in the info part of their website!!!
The general understanding is that damsels gills get "burned" by the levels of ammonia that rise in the tank... and, of course, causes stress due to an un-ideal environment. This one of countless topics where people range from being hell-bent against it, to not caring at all about it.
Yeah i was told that putting a damsel in there would help jumpstart my cycle and get it goin quicker. the guy at my lfs told me that damsels are so hearty and resilient that the first cycle and peaks in ammonia would be no problem for him to endure. The little guy seems to be doing just fine. swimmin around the tank as if he owns the place.
