Feeder fish are an almost 100% guaranteed way to introduce parasites and other diseases to your tank!!  I would never use feeder fish to cycle a tank for this reason.  You are better of using a hardy fish that you would like to keep in the tank from the start.  Check your water parameters daily at first, and do water changes as required.
