She had a pleco which she fed in there the whole time. We gave him to her uncle since he was about 8 inches and way too big for the tank. I will skip out on the otto then thanks for the info.

What I meant was putting food in the tank while it was empty. If you continue to run the filter and put food in the tank, the bacteria has a better chance of survival. Do you know how many days it was between her giving away the fish and you getting the tank and filling it up?

We gave the fish away on sunday. I brought the tank home on monday so it has been about 5 days since there has been a fish.

Do you have the filter plugged in so there's plenty of oxygen getting to the bacteria?

That's good. The more you keep everything running like normal, the less bacteria you'll lose.
