If you're really interested, here are two articles about BB. They don't entirely agree.. how surprising .. but it's interesting what they have to say. The one is commercial, the other is from practical fishkeeping in the UK. Have look.. It seems our BB may not be quite so fragile as we've been led to believe, though it's true they don't form spores, so that method of long term survival is not available to them.

THANK YOU!! The second article was the most helpful. When I get home in a couple hours I will see if there is any ammonia around, and I will add 1 tsp. Then it's of to pet store for test kit (API Master Test Kit??) and java fern. The plants say that they come with 1 free snail which makes me nervous, but since the tank is practically empty finding him shouldn't be to hard.
If i do not have to do a full re-cycle on tank i will be so happy!
