Cycling my 210g FOWLR with Mollies

[sneakerpimp]

I'm going to cycle my new 210g(with 75g sump) and was considering using mollies. What are the advantages of using mollies opposed to just leaving a dead prawn in the tank to start the cycle? And how many mollies should I use for this size of tank?

Also, will mollies eat pods?

There are none. But I can tell you how they would feel, just like you if you lived in a toilet!!!!!!

arent mollies freshwater fish? lets just kill fish.....cycle your tank by sticking your head in it...just make sure you have plenty of powerheads.

Sneaker can probably sense the hostility with the suggestion of using living fish to cycle a tank. That is the old method. Now we know better how to cycle a tank without sacrificing marine life, and not sacrificing the health and well being of our fish. Using a fish to cycle is a way to torture a fish.

Mollies are a fish that can live in freshwater or saltwater, however the best way to start off an aquarium is given here: Setting Up a FOWLR Aquarium
