Post Question about my fishtank

Hi all!
Two weeks ago i started with my first fishtank... stupid as I was I bought everything in a rush, and realized afterwards i did wrong. I bought 6(!) goldfish.. which is just far too much for a 6 Gallon tank... Two of them already died and i really feel bad about it. Okay, I have a filter and airstone, the 4 fishes i have left are very happy at the moment, as I learned more about tanks.

My tank now is just very ugly at the moment, no nice plants, and ugly blue gravel.
I now want to re-organize my tank this weekend, put real plants in it, add lighting, add heater (to make sure the temperature stays the same). I have another small 3 Gallon tank, for the days when I am busy with my tank (i guess it needs to be cycled too), can I put my 4 small goldfish in that tank, so that i can make sure the 6 gallon is prepared well?

Should I keep some aquarium water to fasten the cycle? Should I keep the "dirty" filter stuff?
Any advice on how i can do this are welcome!
Thx!!
PS: sorry about my english, it's not my best language.
