Using fish for cycling will CERTAINLY stress the fish, so if theres a better method, why do it?
It definately has never stressed the fish but ok , fair point .....

Well, I mean, it will certainly put a stressor on them. There's no denying that. Whether that stressor is enough to show outward signs of stress on the fish is debatable...

I know, I know. All I was saying was I prefer the fishless method, specially with marine tanks with LR in them anyway, as it stresses the fish out less, which is more humane on the fish.

Love the cleaner shrimp! They are so cute! I had a pair of them. Quite white in colour, not very yellow? Or is it just the pic?
