fishish Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) Am inching in this direction Many rants later it has been concluded that bettas are not going to be a good idea to cycle my 90litre tank (divided in three). I'm now trying to decide what i will use... rather not pay too much as its mainly bettas im keen on so i just want them for cycling at present, thats it. I like mollies but LFS said they like harder water than bettas so maybe not them either? Suggestions appreciated :) Edited September 10, 2010 by fishish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhong89 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I use a platy, she seems happy enough through the cycling process... I think what's important is to seed the filter material with water from already established tanks. Speed up the process and from what I noticed the peaks are not nearly as high as when I didn't seed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bettarazzi Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 If the tank is for bettas you can get away with just using a product like Seachem Stability. I start all my tanks like that. Add water, add Prime, add Stability, add fish. I wouldn't start a discus tank like that. But bettas, guppies, and really all the small community fish should be fine.
