I know I just don't want to hear how I should have done a fishless cycle. I didnt so it's over. Now I need to know how to go through this cycle with fish safetly.

The safest way, as mentioned before, is testing and changing your water. Buy a test kit with a liquid reagent and not test strips (Aquarium Pharmaceuticals makes a good master test kit) and then change the water at least once a day and sometimes twice a day based on the readings. If you post your results we'll help you with the frequency of changes and how much to change.

My betta fish is out of the cycling tank due to fin rot.
Once the tank is cycled I will put him back in.

I keep 2 female bettas with 4 giant danios and 3 long fin zebra danios, you should not have to worry about any shenanigans between the two if you have enough danios they keep to themselves, and bettas don't flee so danios wont chase them.
