Answers:

You'll be hard pressed to find a more hardy fish then White Clouds. You can also use zebra danio's as well. Some Tetra's are pretty hardy as well as some barbs. I'd use the White clouds however.

You can get better answers and superior service at fishless cycling.com or just use the link on my profile.

tiger barbs.Very forgiving, cheap, small, and hardy for cycling.

You can always remove them when your tank is cycled as they will cause poblems with the angels.

But for cycling they can handle a wide range of ph and good cyclers.

Edit: idk why i ge humbs down for an option question, (of course i dont think it has anything to do with fish, which is wrong.thanks j...I love my fan club, but you cant get rid of me as im not here to suck up to you, im here to answer about fish.) personally zebra danios make a bad choice as since they have been breed in the millions, their bloodlines are weak and they tend to be more sensitive to water parameters.

Feeder Gold Fish or Danio. They are cheap and should work just fine.

I would say Zebra Danios (I have some at the moment cycling my tank) or maybe White Clouds, maybe even neon tetras

zebra danio

your ph should be around 7.0 I have inclosed a link about cycling fish tanks. Remember thought aht if you use other fish to cycle the tank, they have to live somewhere afterwards.
