No, they just leave eggs that will never hatch and leave white spots all over everything that will never go away. I don't know why people don't mention this. My mystery snail isn't the best cleaner upper so I got one zebra nerite. In two days my driftwood was covered with sesame seed nerite...

It's a 20 gallon long, I have neons in my 10. Not a big school but they are doing fine and seem happy. I've been looking for chili rasboras but haven't found any. One of the places sells ghost shrimp as "feeder shrimp". I'm thinking of getting them, even if they are temporary. Ive also...

20 long. That's why I didn't want to just put it all the way to one side. But I'm also planning on a sponge filter so maybe it isn't as important as I think. The tank cycling seems to be progressing, I have a bunch of plants, driftwood, and dragon stone. I have 2 Amazon swords, I'm thinking of...

I have a ten gallon in the den, I'm setting up a 20L in the mudroom, which is kind of a porch where we watch birds and stuff. I'm cycling it now, hopefully it won't take long. I have some plants and hardscape and I'm trying to plan it all out. I want shrimp and some kind of small bright...

The Bettas name is Casper. He was colorless when I got him but now he's getting black streaks in in fins. It's neon tetras I'm leaning towards, that's what's in with Casper. They chase each other but pretty much ignore Casper. I feed live food, like mosquito larvae and bloodworms. I have...

Yeah, easy plants. Now I have java Fern, Anubis, hornwort, and a hydrilla looking stem plant. I like that you can attach the plants to things to make maintenance easier. My java Ferns are producing "babies" Plan on adding other species and I don't mind one or two rooted specimens. I ordered...

I also toyed with the idea of placing the pump more centrally but maybe it's better to have a "quiet side". Maybe have more plants and hides there and a rock feature on the other side. I still haven't put water in it, planning is more complicated than I thought. I'm doing fishless cycling...

I had a 10 gallon with barbs and cardinals, I forget the exact number, I think 4 or 5 barbs and 6 cardinals. It was a planted tank. They got along fine but I had well water at the time and struggled with that, also people didn't test parameters as much as now, I focused on pH and hardness...

I'm leaning towards flugal C3 or C2. The C2 is supposed to be able to filter up to 30 gallons. I'm concerned the C3 might be too strong for the shrimp I'm planning on putting in there. But it seems like the accessories for the C3 are easier to find and there are stainless steel mesh...

I was considering a fluval aquaclear for my new 20L. I assume that's what people are referring to when they say aquaclear?

I currently have a 10 gallon with plants, a few tetras and Betta. My top fin filter is on one side, heater on the other. I'm setting up a 20L and plan to get a fluval because I gather I have more versatility in filtering and biological media and they have accessories like a sponge to go over...

My 10 gallon. It's home to a Betta, 6 neons and a mystery snail. The Betta and neons ignore each other. I just got a 20L tank I'm looking forward to setting up, I'm planning on tetras and shrimp. Not sure what the best ratio is yet, I'm still collecting parts.

That's given me ideas for the 20L I'm fixing to work on. I'm keeping it to simple plants, stem plants, java moss, Anubis mostly, I might have a few rooted plants but I don't really want to have to have a lot of substrate to maintain. I want enough to keep the tetras and shrimp I'm planning on...

My 20 gallon will not have Bettas, only neons and shrimp. And a snail. Plus plants. If not neons some other gentle schooling fish. I check my parameters probably every 2nd or third day.

One of the reasons I joined this forum is to find ways of anchoring stem and rhyzome plants. I also thought of adhesing small rocks in a circle to stick a hornwort or similar stem plant in the hole and put the lead thing on the bottom, moveable and easy to prune from the bottom.

I had aquariums ever since I was a kid but hadn't had one in over 25 years. I was living with well water at the time and was a lot of work to deal with the water, I had neglected a short time and had a die off and although we eventually got a house I didn't set another one up. So I'm now...
