My advice is to use a large miner fee to ensure the TX goes fast and never send an amount below your fee, this will ensure smooth block chaining! bitcoin is a magical currency if you need any help with facets of bitcoin or alt coin just shoot me a pm.
The fee is not the problem here, the problem is for the TX to reach a miner that is mining dust transactions. Most network nodes will not relay dust transactions.
Also by offering advice via PM you remove the chance for someone more knowledgeable to correct you. There is always someone that knows more and posting public answers and questions exposes you to those people that help can you actually understand bitcoin in its details.
