I dunno where my LFS gets their guppies, but whenever I try, I end up losing them all within two weeks... yet I have significantly more delicate species thriving in other tanks with the same water...

Yeah guppies are the way to go in that sense. I put my hand in the tank and they jump right in.

I wouldn’t buy any fish that took 30 minutes to catch. That fish is going to be so stressed out I doubt it makes it a week in the new tank :(
Going to have to look up this technique

The guy at my LFS has a technique with 2 nets and a flick of his fingers. Took him less than a minute. But I can't do it. My hillstrwam loaches are staying put. At another LFS you have to catch your...

That’s a trick because hillstream loaches can’t be caught in a planted tank. It’s more impossible than catching ottos. You have to take all the plants and fixtures out. Catch every other fish then...

I assure you no food every makes it to the cracks and crevices of my tank. 🤣 If you haven’t read about them before- Malaysian trumpet snails. They are ravenous scavengers that burrow through your...

That’s what I said in an earlier post. Spending an hour or two to properly wash aquarium gravel is the LEAST of my worries when setting up a tank. Tank maintenance is in the hundreds if not thousands...

I like Eco Complete and even though it says not to rinse because it has good bacteria in it I will never make that mistake again! I had milky water for over a week. And Just like the Flourite...

Yes but the sand can prevent food particles and waste from falling deep into the gravel cracks and crevices where scavenger fishes can't eat it. I also have a heavily planted tank so maybe different...

The color also looks very natural. It is not jet black, more like a lighter black BUT it looks real/natural.
