Hello everyone! Im brand new to this site as well as a brand new fish tank owner. I started very small (1 gallon tank), didnt want to get in over my head with all the options & ease my way into this aquarist hobby.
So my initial question is this:
I tried purchasing my first fish, a red rainbow shark, but without a heater I think I killed him as soon as he got in his new habitat.
So my next attempt was to try a betta fish.
My concerns was the actual habitat that I current have. My tank stays at a consistent 74 degrees and is fresh water. (Tap water that is being What is your ph originally at that makes you feel you need to lower it? with Jungle brand start right water maintenance).
Any suggestions before I purchase another fish for my tank?
Thanks in advance for the help & please be understanding that I am a novice at this. I just want to make sure Im taking all the correct approaches when doing this so I have a happy fish.
