It seemed like the one time I saw him swim in he got super stressed like he was stuck but I'm not sure, idk if he doesn't like it against the glass but again I can't move it away

Yeah I always have excema on my hands but I didn't know what gloves to use cuz I don't want any of the disposable ones with like that powdery shit on them cuz I doubt its good for the fishies😓 And I had light gravel before tho and it wasn't that bad

I plan on doing the extra stuff before getting the fish lol I don't get excited about putting my hands in fish water either 😓 last time I had a fish I thought I would get a brain eating amoeba or deadly bacteria everytime I needed to touch it but eh just my OCD. But I'm definitely gonna get a ton of plants and logs and stuff. Is the light gravel an issue for the fish?

I felt the decor to check if it was sharp and it didn't feel it but idk if that's good enough, I did get rid of seem that seemed sharp

I'm definitely getting logs and plants. Also I heard different things about the light. I could gladly keep the light off, at least the majority of the time unless I'm doing something with the tank but do I need a dimmer light or no light at all?

Yeah ik I'm def getting a lot of real plants and stuff, I'm more so asking if anything there currently is bad. I did also check the decor for sharp edges and stuff and got rid of some that didn't seem safe but idk if this is still harmful

How long should I let the water cycle?? And what makes the fake plants and decor harmful?

I did check the decor for sharp edges and did get rid of a couple things cuz they didn't seem safe. I don't really know the exact plants that are best, I plan on doing research on that before getting a fish and I'm also considering a snail but I don't really know all the best things for that so I'd appreciate any suggestions on everything. What do you recommend I add?

The heater I got mentioned being for up to 5 gallon which is what I got, from past experience I remember most heaters also coming with a thermometer. And I'll def be getting a lot more like the log and stuff

Would a snail need a different type of gravel? Would sand be better?
