fish in cycling works pretty well among dosers, its a very common start. he would die overnite if the tank cannot handle fish, bottle bac controls ammonia well from rising to lethal levels and only ammonia matters. a tank at aquashella dallas had all dry rock and several clownfish swimming and eating fine, set up day 1 of the convention, using their bottle bac. same action as yours.

controlling ammonia from rising isn't that hard, its handling fish disease passed around
