Terrance said:No.. unless you are ready for a saltwater and an upgrade to your tank.
they are fresh water but not recommended for cycling either.Could I put like 2-3 dwarf puffers??
paytertot said:I highly recommend doing a fishless cycle. There are many advantages imo. Also, Google is your friend lol. Try making a list of all the fish that interest you, and then look up their requirements (check several sites, then check again) and then come back here and ask us your final questions. It's a lot easier to stock from a final list of what you know might work, than from just throwing stuff out there.
On another note, I have that exact tank doing a fishless cycle right now
My next big question is, do you have a test kit? You will absolutely need one. A liquid master test kit, from either api or salifert (a brand I've not used but many people here have) you'll need this to check your water parameters on a daily basis during your cycle.

What is the most preferred and most hardy fish for a cycle I only want like 1-2 fish and can I have plants in it with the cycle?
