being a newbie about the "cycle" process, I was wondering why people who DO KNOW about it, how come they use live fish to cycle a tank? always see "cycleing with tetra's"... Isnt that torture? or does it depend on what they do while it cycles?

Ive noticed ALOT of tanks that cycle with fish...hmmm

You are so right, a lot of people know about the "cycle", but still have things to learn. Every one would benefit from re-reading the article on the nitrogen cycle now and again, especially as they are planning a new tank.
