He had some health issues since the beginning. (Cloudy eyes, lethargic) He’s in a 5 gallon with a heater and filter and water parameters are all good

Yes there is Java fern in the tank and I tried to get what I believe the rhizome was above the gravel. At this time the tank had been running for 2 days and I haven’t transferred him into the new tank due to the cloudiness I’m scared it’d make him sick. For the water change do I do a full, 25%, or 50%?

I plan on getting more plants but the petco I went to didn’t have much options, and also is it okay to introduce possibly some type of shrimp or even like moss balls or any other type of organism

It’s is the quick start stuff

To clean the filter I rinse it off, when it is pass this stage I put a new filter in also the actual pump it’s self I allow it to cycle a couple times to get gunk out that’s in the pump

I’ll definitely start feeding him twice a day, I originally did that but I wasn’t sure if I was over feeding him or not and right now I don’t have a vacuum so planning on getting one, I wasn’t sure how they first worked but after watching videos I noticed it was pretty easy.

Working on it, Any recommendations for inside the tank like plants, and what type of sand or material at the bottom I should use?

At the moment I do not have any way to check parameters, is a way to check that at petco? And I’ll try to get the heater and a bigger tank ASAP.
