another new pleco. parasite med?

[Blucat]

I am getting a bristlenose pleco in about half an hour.
I have my QT tank except that the QT filter has only been in my main tank for about 3-4 days now. I will fill my QT tank with my main tank water and use the filter, except I am afraid that the bacteria isn't established on my filter yet and that the QT tank will cycle with an ammonia spike!

what can I do? my other removable filters in my tank is just a powerhead

do you have time to get some Stability or bio-spira? Otherwise, just keep up on the water changes if you detect a raise in amonia at all.

Well they don't sell any bio spira or seachem and I got the fish!

I'm Back! I got the bristlenose pleco! It is so cute, a baby little thing, only an inch long. so i guess i have to be really careful about how it is acclimated and to make sure it survives. However, the lfs man said i would get it on sale for $3.50 only today but the lfs woman there today insisted on selling full price, $5.00

Any advice on to how I should go about acclimating it?

So far, the BN pleco has been 5 minutes floating bag with bag closed. 5 minutes floating bag with bag open.

Gradually add tank water to the bag then pour the fish into the QT.

uh oh, looks like there is a possibility that the bottom of my QT is leaking, or maybe i had spilt water under before....

Keep an eye on it I have mistaken spilled water for a leak, and a leak for spilled water before.....
