I appreciate it's a bit late, and apologies if I have misunderstood your post, but if you put him in a few days after setting up the Biube then that is the reason why he is in trouble. You need to cycle a fishtank properly - absolute minimum should be a couple of weeks, but as tenohfive has stated in other threads, 3-4 weeks is best practice.
Kind of correct, a cycle requires a source of ammonia to be regularly added to the tank either in liquid form or flake food or a raw prawn. The cycle will take 4-6 weeks to complete and will never complete in a two week period.

Here are my guys, some rummy nose tetra, harlequin rasboras, guppies, Siamese fighter, dwarf gourami, and 'yellow sucker thing'. If fluval did this tank in double the size I would be in heaven.

Thanks. It's fabulously easy to maintain, I'm sure it's over filtered as the damn thing never gets dirty looking, just regular, standard maintainence and it's crystal clear. I just pray they'll do a larger size as I'd love to create a marine setup from this tank but I feel this is too small.

Above is Templeton Jnr, my third Gold Nugget and favourite plec. Not really meant to be done but i have two gold nuggets and they seem to get alone just fine.



Gordon, the common plec, growing fast and a new tank will be needed soon to house him.
