Not unless you harrass his friends, the Tangs!!

seriously though, cycling a tank with live rock is all you need. There is enough dying matter to feed the bacteria and there is no need for fish, dead hamsters or anything else.

And for Oxymoron, if you put a fish in a tank that has fully cured rock, he probably hasn't suffered at all, so don't beat yourself up about it
Using rock, once you have no detectable NH3, you're good to start slowly adding things.

LoL
I think on that note perhaps a title change is in order.
Im happy to hear that I didn't stress out the molly's and we did make sure that our ammonia was at zero and our nitrates were minimal before adding them into the mix.
