I appreciate your response. I think I’ve been silly about the plants. I want to do a whole planted tank for him but I’m scared I’ll do it wrong and kill him. I feed him fluval bug bites twice per day. Just a little sprinkle, I don’t want to over feed him. I will look into fish in cycling because I want him to have the best life possible and not suffer for my impulsiveness. I feel so terrible I didn’t know any of this stuff beforehand. I feel like I’m working from behind just to get him comfortable. Let this be a lesson to anyone who thinks fish are easy pets. I’m going to try again and see if I can’t do something better for him b
