Yeah, I definitely want to start with some easy plants till I get the hang of it. Is sand a difficult substrate to care for? Can I just use a regular siphon?

I just wanted to let you all know (Sorry it's been forever) that he seems to have gained some of his color back and is acting completely normal. Thanks for all the help!

Ok, cool! Do they need any other special care, in general?
