Thank you for all of that information! Can you give me any recommendations on where to buy fish if not at a local store? Thank you!

But for nearly all of the fish dying again and again? With the exception of the few that live a seemingly good life? The sheer volume of fish that I have lost and the extremely similar nature of them dying is a mystery, but I don't think they are all bad. In general in the store I have...

I am not completely new to the hobby. I have had my tank for almost a year and a half but have had a consistent problem that no one at any store has been able to solve. I have had dozens of fish over the year and a half die within the first 24-48 hours of being introduced to my tank. This...
