Hi Ann,
Welcome to the group. When doing a fishless cycle you don't have to put
the animals though the stress of a cycling system with all the high levels
of toxins that involves & once the tank is cycled then you can go ahead &
put your intended stock into a near-perfect environment straight away.
Here are a couple of links to fishless cycling pages that explain it all:

Any questions please ask & enjoy the rest of your Christmas!
