Yup! Okay, thanks. I've been told snails don't do as well in soft water, so that might help a bit too? (Or not, pest snails probably survive in literally any conditions)

You'll never guess what I found today... I found three, and obviously removed them expeditiously. *grumbley noises bc incoming snail invasion* Is there any way to identify really tiny baby snails?

Just planted it a few days ago. Is this normal? Please excuse the photobombing water sprite and dwarf sag.

So I just set up a tank with plants a couple days ago, and I was wondering how soon is okay/how soon I should prune the plants. The ludwigia(which was already pretty tall when I planted it) now has a couple leaves out of the water. Also, you can trim dwarf sag down, right?

Ludwigia sp.

Photo dump with close ups and different angles!

Yup so the cholla wood is now in the tank with java moss. I'm still not sure if this will be the permanent location of them, though. And the water sprite is putting sprouts out of the water. Also, for people who didn't see my other thread, I found a snail egg sac on one of the plants. So... we...

*sigh* Okay then.

K so what is this? It looks suspicious to me... but am I an absolute idiot and it's an air bubble?

So I set up my 10g tank with all the plants and now I'm deciding where to put the cholla wood. I'm currently just messing around, but what do you think? There are 3 pieces, one over by the filter in the back left(I was thinking of having that corner be a good spot for the ghost shrimp to chill...

okay cool

Erm, so, my plants arrived today and one of the things I got was java moss to put on some cholla wood. Buuuttt I don't have any fishing line or super glue that I know for sure is aquarium safe. So. Any ideas? The java moss is currently in the little cups that it came in, and I filled them...

🎉🎉🎉😄 Ahhhhhhhhh the plants are planted!!! The plastic containers are the java moss. I'm still boiling the cholla wood and I didn't want to risk the moss disintegrating, so I put some tank water in the containers and let them float. Most of the water sprite is floating, but I found a really...

By "older heater" do you mean an older design or the actual age of the product? Cause I got this one very recently, it's only been running for a few days. (PS, it's currently running in an empty tank bc I'm waiting for the plants to arrive.) The room temp is 60 at night and 65 at day.

Okay, cool. (Orrrrrr not cool, actually pretty warm)

10 gallon and 50 watts.

As a side note, during water changes, doesn't adding a bunch of cool room temp water make the tank temp drop a bunch?

I wanted to know how much temperature fluctuation is okay. Mine ranges between 76.8 and 78.4, although usually it stays between 77.4 and 78.1. Is this okay? Planning on having a betta and some ghost shrimp. Edit: This is in Fahrenheit btw, in Celsius it would be 24.9-25.8 but usually stays...

Oooookaaayyyy so I think I misunderstood the process or something. I just got an email, the plants were shipped today, so they should be here on Thursday. I...am...so...impatient.

Okay, cool. Blaarrrggghhh they diiddnnn'tttt! I'm so annoyed about it.

Well, it's a sponge filter, so it doesn't really face any direction.
