Default Seeding an Angelfish tank

What type of fish do people think are a good seed fish that can live with
Angelfish later? I tend to think that Angelfish may be a bit too
delicate to survive the seeding process.


Put the plants in first and then add a little ammonia avery day for about
a week. That way you don't need any "seed" fish. Just change the water a
little more often for the first month (after that first week). Look up
"fishless cycling" for more info.

I did it that way and never saw any ammonia or nitrites, the plants and
the bacteria combined did the trick.
