My many mistakes for 1st timer maintaining aquarium fish >.<"

Here i have made mistakes....
1) i nvr thought about the ph value in the gravel....shud've tested it before putting in...
2) didnt change water in the aquarium before putting in the new endi. and ornate bichirs... luckily the ornate bichir is still well till today...unfortunately the endi. was too late to be saved and died shortly after this vid...
I hadnt leant about antibiotics or proper quarantine
3) i didnt add salt to the aquarium to kill parasites....which cud have been the cause of the endi's death too...
4) didnt add in the cycle bacteria and eco-bio block to help treat the water sewage

- oh well...i have to learn the painful way...1st timer with aquatics :(

As you can see the endi has like boold bubbles and the skin is like splitting....severely sick...hadnt been eating for a long time and he bloated up...i think it was internal dmg...
Part of the reason cud be the shop i bought the bichirs from cuz the ornate was not eating....but at least i managed to buy the meds to treat them...which i had to friggin change the aquarium water every alt day...
I kept calling the fish shop for advise and they got irritated as i asked so much lol

well..this vid again was taken like 2 months back....now i'm much better at it and i've got happy bichirs living well and healthy :D
sorry 1st Endi.... :'(
