Hi Whiskey,
I used this sticky to cycle my 5.5 gallon tank using the fish food method. It has been about a 5 weeks since a set it up and its just about finished cycling.

The pure ammonia method is most recommended because fish food that has been decaying in the tank has potential risks.

You can do a fish in cycle just make sure to do extra water changes, whatever the sticky recommends (I'm not sure myself).
