type of cycling fish

I only got a 10g tank and I only want Puffers, Otos, and Amano Shrimps
here's my question are Puffers good for Cycling a Tank...??

Thank you

just a couple of feeder fish will do, then give them back to the pet store. ( cousin did this for his tanks.

puffers do not do well at all in a cycling tank. I would recommend fishless cycling

So because goldfish are cheap and easy to come by, their lives are less worthy?
