I've found that there are some fish that just don't work with these types of plants ... the main one's are cories but plecs are another. To keep these types of plants it's best to keep fish that swim in the water column.
 
Is there any chance your plec can move into the new tank once it arrives and is cycled?

Usually, what size is the tank?

 

[Akasha72]

minimum tank size I'd put a BN in is about 30". I've read they are fine in a 2 foot tank but in my opinion that's too small for a fish that can grow to 6 inches in length
