Given what I heard about the conditions they were kept in, I am glad they no longer sell them.

I made a mistake of having male Siamese fighting fish in my tank with other fishes and it attacked all other fishes in no time.
Did the other fish survive?

I also think the current system is working great.
-
Honestly, I had such a bad experience with shrimp in general that my only answer is “never again,” lol
-
I also like the energy-efficient systems you are talking about!
-
Yes, frozen food is really convenient for fish, and they love it.
-
I would also love to see some additional beginner’s guides.

One effective way to prevent stings or bites is by using gloves or other protective gear when handling your fish. Additionally, always be aware of your fish's body language and behavior, as this can give you clues on whether it's feeling threatened.
That is some great advice right there.

Have you ever known someone to let their tank go badly? It's a pretty common scenario - someone gets too busy or forgetful and before they know it, their gas tank is running on empty.
But what's worse is when someone deliberately lets their tank go empty as some sort of experiment, or worse yet, as a way to save money. I've known a few people who have tried this and it never ends well. They end up stranded on the side of the road, late for appointments or worse yet, in a dangerous situation.
So, my advice to all of you is to always keep your gas tank at least half full. It's a small thing that can make a big difference in your life. Not only will you avoid the stress and danger of running out of gas, but you'll also save yourself time and money by not having to make constant trips to the gas station.
Don't be that person who lets their tank go badly. Take care of your vehicle, and it will take care of you.
Hahah, I legit can’t figure out if this is an off-topic serious post or if you are making a dry joke.

To answer the question in your thread title, the reason why only saltwater fish can live in saltwater is due to them being able to process the salt through their organs/gills. There are some brackish, and very few freshwater fish that can live in saltwater (they have a special organ that can allow them to process saltwater), but other fish would slowly die due to them not being able to separate and process the salt in the water.
Doesn't that answer the question of why freshwater fish can only live in freshwater more than why saltwater fish can only live in saltwater?

Most aquatic plants will require temperature between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, but more heat means the plants will have a higher metabolic rate and grow faster.
That's a really good point.
-
Also curious about answers to this.
-
Right now, I am just going to focus on improving the tanks I have; I think I would feel overwhelmed to add a new tank at the moment.
-
When I started out, I was using just one heater, but after I started getting more into aquariums, I ended up getting backup heaters as well.
-
Yes, I think using more than one light can have a beautiful effect.
-
I do not have a tremendous amount of space to work with, so yes, I do tend to think everything through and come up with a plan before I purchase anything.
-
As a newbie, I think one of the top things I should have done differently was simply making sure that I was actually purchasing fish that were probably healthy to begin with.
-
I think they are generically helpful, but do not share a species matrix as sub-species can be wildly different than a general species level (ex; there is some community-level aggression of African cichlids and then super aggressive African cichlids).
I can create a general one is you think that would be helpful?
That would be awesome.

What ended up happening, OP?
-
I check on my fish every day.
