cycling a tank is cruel and unusual punishment. (even if it is an evil little damsel)
the only reason this practice started is that damels are one of the few fish that are strong and hardy enough to tolerate the extreme conditions that occur during a tank cycle.
another very widely used cycle starter is using a small piece of raw shrimp. add this into the tank for about a week, then remove it, and your cycle will be on its way..
