The seeds have their own stored food in the form of starch so you can go ahead and plant them in the beginning. Many seeds take 7-10 days to sprout and most plants can use ammonia for food while the system is still maturing.

If your feeder fish die, you are doing it wrong. Just start with a couple. Starting with goldfish is fine. After a month you can add more. Invest in at least an ammonia test and a ph test. There are like $7ea at your local pet store. It takes the guesswork out of what is going on and noone is going to be able to begin help you troublshoot problems without at least ph and ammonia readings.

Thank you so much. i was about to have a rage at the forum for that guide.
i guess your right. ill go ahead and add the fish and plants at once and start monitoring.

AND FOR ALL THOSE WHO ARE WONDERING.
im not going to ask about ph and ammonia levels BECAUSE I READ THE GUIDE.

THANK YOU FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ANSWERED MY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.
