It was a bad night last night when I got home from work. After picking up my 4.5" indo to transfer him to my new tank, I got home to find my water cloudy and 1 of my new thinbars stuck to the filter.:WHOA::eek:

So Im tryin to find out whats wrong with my water??:confused:
I tested everything..Ammonia, Nitrites, ph all look good.

I think maybe the new set up was not all the way cycled yet? I cylced using "Cycle Biological supplement", and let it run for a few days b4 adding the thinbars last week. I was being impaient, and thought everyhting was good.
The indo is loking pretty good this morning, and the other 2 thinbars are bright yellow and looking good.

Any suggestions?:(
 
Cycling takes at least 2 weeks (based on my experience). Its probably a case of un-cycled filter like you mentioned. I say let everything as it is. Sit back and relax. Do not let that indo suffer the same fate as the thinbar.
 
It could have been a problem that that little fish already had that wasnt readily detectable.Baby fish can be delicate and my little Thinbar hasnt even taken any food yet and its almost a week that Ihave had him,we both got ours from the same source so its hard to pin down what the problem was.
