Hello everyone my name is Marvin and I currently have a 38G Freshwater tank, with some plants but not a lot, so far in this tank I have some glofish tetras, swordtails, and platies. Recently added substrate for plants and some rocks me and my gf found to add to the tank. My first fish were the tetras, I really thought they were cool because they came in many different types of colors and many different forms. But recently I have gotten tired of them because they don't seem to have much energy compared to the swordtails and platies who will spend all day swimming around and savaging for left over food that's stuck in the gravel, but they do poop a lot more than the tetras for sure. So I bought some substrate from petco that they said would help turn the fish waste into food for the plants, I was wondering what's the best way to remove fish waste since they really do poop a lot :c Now I also have two ghost shrimps and a red cherry shrimp and two long fin rosy barbs who get a lot and savage with the swordtails and platies. I also have a common pleco and a very shy ralphael catfish. I had a very nicely colored Bettafish who recently died, he was doing just fine during the night swimming around, but once I woke up he was dead laying there. Anyone might have any ideas why that could have happened? Thinking about removing the tetras and just having a group of platies and swords, but anyway I think that's all for now. Now to spam some pictures!

Alittle cave for the fish and shrimps to hide and sleep
This big rock we thought wouldn't fit but now makes for a nice cave and hill
