I've kept an open brain under PCs with suplemental feeding, Kind of hard to kill but semes like water quality is a big factor.

Fragspawn may get tricky, mine's very fussy when alk/ca swing

Torch is another good one and usually cheap to start

candy canes are indestructable

thats some I started with ^^

Candycane, frogspawn.

Read up on water parameters: alkalinity and ph are critical, ammonia is lethal, ditto nitrate. S/b 0 for ammo and nitrate. Calcium should be 420. Temp 80, alk and ph 8.3. Salinity 1.025. Test daily, topoff should be automated or steady drip. You should have no trouble if you meet those criteria.
