Aussie golds, hardy or doomed?

[yanni]

Hey all!!

I’ve been considering getting an Aussie gold torch for a while, I’m absolutely mesmerised with them. They’re amazing.

My only concern is I’ve heard they can be quite finicky and tend to die randomly, which I don’t want to happen haha.

Is this a common problem, or is it just a lot of negativity which is mainly heard? I’m not in a position to get an indo gold as Australia won’t import them (I live in Australia), so only stuck with an Aussie as my option. I have a LFS who regularly gets them in usually in great health, but I know they can go south very quickly
