Fish in cycling does work. Seriously no one here will disagree with you there.
It was how you reacted to other suggestions that people had a problem with.
For example how you reacted to the suggestion of using a dead prawn instead of ammonia and you said 'I'm not putting anything dead into my tank, I may aswell put my dinner into it' or similar.
By saying that you clearly showed that you hadn't read into cycling generally (even if you're going with fish-in you should still know about cycling and all the methods so you can know you're making an informed choice)
I think people are feeling that you aren't making an 'informed' choice. But more that you are being impatient/arrogant in your methods.
If we're wrong then we're wrong, but that's the feeling I am getting.
Your fish will easily live through a fish in cycle if you do it correctly.
But I can guarantee you will shorten their lifespan.
This is why I will always promote fishless cycling, and although I wont have a go at your for your decision. I completely disagree with it. lol.
