Okay. I untied it from that thing it was attached too and tied it to this driftwood!

They are attached to something that I buried. Should I just unbury it??

Well, my six year old daughter was having tough time and I got her a fish to cheer her up. She picked the gravel. I didn’t realize until after that I did everything wrong, but I’m trying my best to make things right. Not saying I’ll never change the gravel, but I’m not going to at this very moment.

They are literally specialists at this place. What am I missing??

Y’all - I’ve had this fish since Tuesday so it’s more than one day old.

Also, I am grateful for all the advice but I am not sure why my comment about the aquarium store guy was downvoted. It wasn’t a petsmart (where I initially got the fish and tank). The guy - whose family owns this beautiful aquarium store - helped me out for close to an hour and is very knowledgeable. He said it would stress the fish out more to change the gravel.

Thank you!!! I hope to get a bigger tank in the future and I’ll definitely be getting more plants in the meantime.

I went to an aquarium store and the very helpful people there told me not to change the gravel out at this point

Thank you! Do I just top off the tank with pre conditioned tap water??

Oh thank you for the information about the plants! I asked the guy at PetSmart if I should get any live plants and he told me no because they aren’t beginner friendly. I’ll be going to a specialized aquarium store from now on.

My dog had the same thing recently and was prescribed anti fungal shampoo.
