just wondering if anyone has ever seen their mystery snail stretch out and eat food from the top? My sister's snail was doing this earlier. It was almost like he was sucking the food in toward himself, somehow he even got some in under where he was hanging on the tank and ate it off himself. It...

my mystery snail has just been sitting around, mainly closed up, for days. He does move around maybe an inch or two at most every couple days or so. Mostly he just stays closed up and opens up just enough to see a little of his body every little bit through the day. I'm not sure if this is...

Looks like they carry most of them but they carry them seasonally so I'll have to see if they have them when I get a chance to go. It's about a 30 minute drive and I'm hoping to get some more fish the next time I go. It might be a bit cause I've got a neon tetra quarantined at the moment...

Can you suggest any plants? I'm still relatively new to this and plants would be completely new to me. I had plastic ones on one of my first decorations and they got completely nasty.

If it helps anything here are a couple pictures of her. Sorry about the one that uploaded twice, not sure why that happened.

i was watching my fish earlier and saw a little thing darting around inside the barrels in my tank. I realized it was a Molly fry after I saw it again. There seems to just be one. Is it possible that my Molly hasn't had all of her babies yet or is it more likely that she ate the rest of them...

Larry finally gave up. I did everything I could but he didn't make it. I still don't know what was wrong but I'm sure gonna miss him.

It could be. I can't really tell. I'm gonna go with yes, though.

It's raised and white. No pink or red that I can see. Like in this picture, just smaller.

It's been a month at the absolute least and I'm sure it's been longer than that.

He is still alive and has improved some. He still has a growth just above his mouth, though it is smaller. He still has some slightly discolored places on his red area and there is a little gold around his blue stripe. He is eating good and behaving normally, except hitting the growth on the...

i just noticed a few spots on a couple of my fish today and began treating for ick. I didn't think about it when I put the medicine in because my mystery snail was hiding. Does anyone know if jungle ick guard is safe for mystery snails...

I'd prefer not to think about it but if the time comes, what would be the most humane way to put him out of his misery?

That's good to know. Is there any chance of survival with this?

The fish is still eating just like it normally does It's red area does have a bit of discoloration, it is kinda pale in some spots. His stripe is definitely still blue, though not quite as bright as it should be, just enough to be able to tell a difference. It did leave the other tetras...

I had a neon tetra on its own for a while, the rest died and it took me a little while before I could go get more. I have more now and is kind of losing its color. I think it may have been a bit dull before and I just had nothing to compare it to. It did get picked at a little while it was by...

I only have two. I wasn't aware of that at the time. I thought maybe it was just lonely so I did get one more. I just got it yesterday so I'm hoping that will help. I would get more but I only have a 10 gallon tank and can't upgrade so I'm trying to do the best I can.

This is the first good picture I've managed to get. It has been sitting in this same spot since I got up this morning.

I have an albino Cory that is sitting around a lot and breathing 3-4 times per second. I think it has always breathed pretty fast but it used to swim around a lot more. I upgraded to a 10 gallon tank a few weeks ago and it has a pretty strong current, 90 gallons filtered per hour. That's really...

Thanks for clearing that up. I haven't completely ruled out the possibility of using one in the future but I don't think I'll be using one at the moment.

I appreciate the advice and my tank is already set up. I'm still interested in how an UGF works though.

I've been thinking about adding a UGF to my tank as it was suggested to me that it would be useful. I am already using a top fin 10 gallon power filter and ther person that suggested it said I could run the UGF using my power filter. I'm not really clear on how a UGF works. Could someone give me...

She's started leaving the light on some and she feeds him a shrimp pellet sometimes. He's growing some.

Just updating to let people know that my snail has regained some coler, I'm guessing that's due to shell growth.

I'm pretty sure it is a mystery snail. If you look at this link and click on either the black or blue mystery snail color it looks like those. http://www.petsmart.com/petsmart-north-america/live-fish/mystery-snail-zid36-15237/cat-36-catid-700002?var_id=36-15237&_t=pfm%3Dsearch She got it from...

I have a gold mystery snail in with one neon tetra, the others died, one Glofish, and an albino Cory. It has gotten quite a bit bigger since I got it, but my sister has a black mystery snail in with her betta and it is still very small. Her betta is a bit aggressive but he hasn't really been...

I guess it'll give my snail a unique look at least. I did find the water quality test report but it is kinda disorganized and I don't think it lists the parameters that it should.

There's nothing wrong with my tap water. I was using tap water until I was given what was apparently bad advice. I'm going to stop using the distilled water though.

I actually have been using distilled water so that's likely what it is? I currently don't have a way to test the water so I can't give you any measurements. Should I do a big water change or something?

I added a snail about a week and a half ago but it's shell is turning white now. iI's acting the same as it was, moving all over the tank and everything. Does anyone know what would cause this?

The stuff is so small that you couldn't see it in any picture I could take. I haven't managed to get a good picture of my tank every time I've tried.

I think I have been feeding a little too much and now I have some fuzzy gray/white stuff growing in my tank. I read in a few places that it could be a bacterial fungus. It only started growing in the last day - day and a half. My fish managed to fool me into thinking they would eat more than I...

I'm just out of college and living with my parents so I'll have to discuss it with them. I don't think my dad wants to hear about it, which I think is because he is set in the way he kept fish in the past. I try not to take it personally but I tend to be kinda stubborn so I do a little by...

Thanks for all the information. I do hope to get them into a bigger tank one day, hopefully it can be soon but I just don't know. I've looked it up some but first hand info should be better. What are the signs of a stressed fish?

I know the bigger tank isn't a lot but the things that go with it ad up to a pretty good amount. I'm also not making much money right now or I would be able to just run out and get it all at one time. The biggest thing that is stopping me is having the space for them. I know the perfect sized...
