Today I bought a new fluval chi 5 gallon. I have a well established 26 gallon bow. Is there any way possible to get the chi shrimp/fish ready for Saturday?

Hello Tom...
You could remove a portion of the filter media from the 26 gallon tank, say a third of it and put it into the smaller tank. Instant cycling. You should then perform a water change on the 26 and replace the filter media in the 26. Just rinse the new media in some of the old tank water and get it into the filter of the 26. The good bacteria will reproduce to its former level in a few hours.
