Firstly how long have u had the tank?
And what size is it?

You may have to wait a while to allow the natural filtration to build up as if you add fish to fast the will just die of ammonia poisoning.

hi i have and the tank set up for 1 week put the fish in on saturday the tank is 3ft
36 gallons how long do u think u should wait till u put more fish in

It takes about 4 weeks to mature the water to be safe for fish, you need good bacteria to remove the toxins produced by the fish, adding fish so early only leads to an ammonia spike which at very low levels are toxic to fish....

sorry for the bad news but any good shop should of explained this to u and if they did not you should spend time reacearching and take you money to respectable places.

Is it ok to post a copy of this into the main post?

On top of that, the tank is not large enough to house growing plecos. They get to 24" in size, sometimes even larger.
