No easy answer as to will they die off during the cycle....depends entirely on the tank conditions & any food sources.

Studeriotes/Sphaerella

According to Sprung, it needs medium to high flow, and although it's brown, it doesn't have zooxanthellae. So that means regular feeding with phyto- or zooplankton.
