The tank already had a danio in it, and had been perfectly good for a few years and I cleaned it the other week and all the tests came back fine. I have a gravel substrate and yes I boiled it before putting it back to kill any algae that might’ve been growing. I don’t have any real plants seeing as how I’m not sure if they would live in the tank well. I have an artificial plant that I clean with dechlorinated water. And I have a little hiding cove type structure for the fish to hide and swim in between. I feed him small pellets that I was recommended to feed him. He somehow survived the first night and I didn’t notice that his butt had a little redness to it.
