are Nerite snails the ones that dont bread in an aquarium ? i dont fancy having a snail that could over run my tank

Yes it comes off, and has just started to float about the tank

Yeah i am testing my water ever week with the API Master test kit. and i have spent many hours researching all about the nitrogen cycle, so i’m pretty clued up on that! which in the past, keeping goldfish i was never aware of! I will definitely hold off on getting any shrimp anytime soon then...

This is the best photo i can get, and its not green btw, thats just the colour of the ornament.

Thanks for the information! I will keep that all in mind when i come to choose one. I have just noticed that on my ornament there is what appears to be small little balls of white fluff (not too sure how else to describe it) Could that be algae ?

I love koi and all other pond fish! I could imagine they grew very big, whilst in your friends pond

That sounds like an awesome set up you have going on there! and I would definitely like to breed fish in the future! but as of yet im new to keeping tropical fish, so I still have plenty to learn. I have kept Fancy Goldfish in the past so i’m fairly clued up on those guys. But tropical and live...

Yes i definitely will keep this tank just for the neons, i wouldn’t want to stress them out. But do you think a snail ? or a shrimp ? would be suitable to go in with them ? i’m only thinking so that they can help eat up any left over food and keep my plants healthy! I would love to have a...

Thanks, and yeah I think I might of got a few too many for the tank I have. However when i went to get the fish i didn’t know what i was going to buy, and the petshop that sold me them, said i could of easily had 10 or more in my size tank, as well as possibly getting some corycatfish or...

They are called Salvinia Auriculata. I bought mine from pets@home

No way, what a small world ahah!

Ah right okay, i’ll keep that well noted! and great i’ll definitely give my plants a good inspection to see if any have turned yellow or have holes in. I’ll have a look into root tabs. i’m currently using Tropic Premium Nutrition for my plants!

Thanks for the tip! i certainly will pull them up a bit. I knew they was quick growers, but i did not realise they would grow that big! any advice on the best way to trim down the plants if i ever needed too ?

Thanks mate, and ah hopefully my tank will be suitable enough for them. i’m only planning on maybe getting a snail or shrimp to help clean around the plants

After having my aquarium set up for some time now, Yesterday I decided to make my first purchase of tropical fish for my 48 litre tank. I decided to go for a school of 10, neon tetras!

Thanks Juicebox, and yeah I have read up on many different sites about mixing bettas with other fish. And come across many different opinions and scenarios of people keeping bettas with other fish. Some people saying you can, and some saying you shouldn’t. I think it comes down to the...

Hi guys, this is my 48 litre tank which I have been Setting up for a while. I plan for this tank to be home to a male Betta fish, and a small school of fish, and maybe some shrimp or snails. There are currently no fish in the tank, but I do have 4 Echindorous Bleheri, plants and some Salvinia...

so my little snail that i found has some type of fluff/dust of some sort hanging from his shell. anyone know what this is ?

They sound great, i’ll have a good look into them, thanks :)

Thanks mate, i’m going have a look into getting both of those plants myself :)

love the colours on this little guy

What type of plants are you using in the centre ? also what floating plants did you use in your 2.5g betta tank

Thanks mate, i’ll give that a try if my current method doesn’t work :)

Yes mate i have a lid. im still in the early stages of setting it up. been taking the wood and ornament out of the tank as the wood was leaking the tanning. which at first i didn’t know about. but i’ve got that under-control now. Thanks for the info :)

can someone help me identify what this is ?

Thanks mate, much appreciate it

Hi all, so i’ve set up a new aquarium, and i’ve found a baby snail in my tank. I’ve used live plants, but haven’t yet got any fish, so i assume the snail has come with the plants. I need help identifying what snail i have, and any information about it would be appreciated. i have attached a picture
