What is the tank size? How long has it been set up?

I've had good luck with those

If you are going to continue to keep fish, I recommend getting the kit I linked above

What kind of test kit are you using? You need a liquid test kit, for ammonia, nitrIte, nitrAte, and ph...many of us use this one: https://apifishcare.com/product/freshwater-master-test-kit

The heater should maintain the same temp all of the time, regardless of the temp of the house...what brand is it? Although those temp changes in the post above aren't very drastic...

If you check my emoji, I may fall into that class, as well ;) Far out....

Good day, all One of our beloved Admins (@dascrow) has added a new post-reaction emoji for all of us to use, the "interesting" emoji, see image below Many times, a post may be just that..."interesting"...without necessarily being "liked", "useful", etc, so we thought it would be a good idea to...

Good info above. I would add that you need to wait a full 24 hours after a WC before testing ammonia. Welcome to TFF

Some people have WAY too much free time on their hands.

Welcome to TFF

Not at all, perfectly fine Welcome to TFF

Ahhh, I see...makes sense

23 tabs???...wow...lol

I'd uncheck 'passwords' and 'form autofill data', if it were me...just so I wouldn't have to remember them every time, lol

Some bettas are just fine in a community setting, and won't harass (or be harassed) by other fish...but that's the exception, not the norm...just depends on the individual betta, and it's temperament If the betta came from a community tank, and played well with others in it, you might get...

You clear browser history only, or log-ins, as well?

I think you are absolutely correct...I used to use Firefox, which will save logins, but I now prefer Brave (also saves login info)

CCleaner does not remove my auto-login info...

Congrats on the newbies...I know that with the "regular" emperor tetras (Nematobrycon palmeri), it's easy to sex them...males have blue eyes, females have green When do we get to see some pics?

Everything is working fine for me on my work PC.

Sorry to hear about this, Nat...leaking tanks can be quite nightmarish

Welcome to TFF

I prefer these over bulky, unsightly sponges: https://www.jungleaquashrimp.com/stainless-steel-mesh-pre-filter-intake-guards-for-aquariums-shrimps-tanks/

Possibly a planaria, which is not good news for the shrimp...see the Youtube video on this page: https://fishlab.com/planaria/

Sorry you haven't gotten any replies on this matter, but it does appear that the worm is gone...for now, at least Glad that you found a thread that was helpful

API does indeed carry a hardness test kit, but it is sold separate from the other test kit (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, ph) https://apifishcare.com/product/gh-kh-test-kit

Snails

It's still early...

I've actually seen these insects in my yard and around my house before, but with much duller coloring than the ones in the article... Had no idea they were called "sharpshooters"...

Hey, that's half the fun of it...

"I saw these insects peeing once and fell in love," study senior author Sadd Bahmla, a biophysicist at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, told Live Science. Be sure to watch the video...

Thread title edited.... ;)

OT, but just noticed, you are in Houston, always nice to see another fellow Texan join the forum...👋

Nice list; the Characins are my favorite fish, maybe because of the fact that I have soft water, and have many to choose from....;) That being said, I did not know that Colombians preferred harder water
