cycle with guppies

[cluster]

does cycling with guppies speed the cycle up?

 

[yvez9]

nope, unless you put alot in

you should try fishless cycling

Depends upon what size tank you were looking at. Either using fish and doing a fishless cycling can take about the same amount of time--that said, why put fish under that kind of stress?

Guppys are fragile little fish and they probably wouldn't make it through the cycle, platys and danio's are a hardy fish if you want to cycle the tank with fish.

Hi cluster....

Just use some gravel/deco from your other tanks aswell as some cultured filter media and you shouldn't even have to worry about using guppies or fishless cycle.
