Throw you some goldfish in that aquarium, they are recommended to startup an aquarium. They are the nastiest fish u can have and they cycle the tank faster than any other fish!! Plus they are very tough and can survive very well in a tank going through the cycling process so that it keeps gettin the bacteria needed from their waste. The gravel in the bottom are very important for this process also. I buy the round smooth landscaping rocks at lowes for my aquarium. The light brown looking ones, and rinse them then put em in the aquarium. I've seen goldfish survive in a new tank with tapwater. Goodluck, I may try this also in the near future, when will the bass be the ideal 1-1.5" size that was recommended???
