I had trouble with neons at first too. I finally have a stable batch of tetras in my 20 gallon. I have glolight tetras, black tetras and neons, the most being the neons. It took me about 4 batches to get 13 sturdy ones that either didn't get sick and die, or at least responded to the...

Yeah, luckily they are easy to find and remove, which is what I'll be doing until I need more snails which won't be anytime soon.

Because mine seem smarter than some of my other aquatic pets. I had a couple of mystery snails and was rewarded with an egg sack, that I saw right before I stepped on mom, who apparently crawled out of the tank after laying the eggs. I wanted a couple snails in each of my tanks and this was an...

I've only seen berries on one shrimp, and she dropped them, so there haven't been any babies. But everything seems stable now, I haven't seen any more dead shrimp and I see the ones that I recognize. The ones that were tiny when I got them are growing. I guess I'll nurture the ones I have...

One of my aquaclears broke where the impeller motor screwed on, I went to get a replacement and the topfin pro 30 filters were less expensive so I got one of those. I really like it. It's similar to the aquaclear in that you can hot rod it because it doesn't take a cartridge but it has an intake...

I only give them bacterAE a couple times a week, they seem more active when I put it in. I had read about using RO water and adding the minerals but I was hoping not to have to fuss that much.

I can (could) actually see the biological film on the driftwood. I occasionally add bacterAE, I don't use the recommended dose on my small tank. I also can see little cocopods jerking around on the glass, I understand that's a good sign. I suspect the number of snails I temporarily have in the...

GH 12. KH 4. Don't know the tds.

I was starting to suspect the snails were killing them as they slept but my search revealed that wouldn't happen. I think it has something to do with failed molting but I don't know why it would. I saw a successful molt a little while ago, I hope it leads to babies but if not I'm going back to...

NH3 is ammonia. It's zero. It's always zero. It's a well established cycled tank.

I have 3 aquariums, the one I'm asking about is the10 gallon aquarium. My little koi betta lived there until she got stuck under a rock and died. It was heartbreaking, she was my favorite fish. The store had red cherry neocaridinas when I went back to pick up something or other and I decided to...

I was just doing my weekly water changes and the moss ball I had in my Betta tank spread (engulfed) a piece of hydrilla. It was course and tangly, like the moss ball. The shrimp seemed to like picking at the stuff on the driftwood but they aren't eating the actual algae. I'm removing moss...

I had a Marino moss balls in my tanks and where the one moss ball was I started getting that hair algae too, it was only on the driftwood that the moss ball was next to. I have since taken moss balls out of that tank. It reminds me of black beard algae in that there are tufts of it on the...

It's 20 gallon long, has 5 black neons, 4 glolights, 10 neons (think). There are 2 Amazon swords, one at each end, I think they might get too big for the tank. Driftwood with Anubis, dragon stone with baby java ferns, hornwort and hydrilla like stuff. All but the amazons are attached to...

Does this mean she is going to drop them? It looks like some of them are just attached with a mucous strand.

The molt

. . . Is only WLOD if they die. My big one had it and I feared the worse. I JUST WATCHED HER(?) MOLT!!!! I also saw all 8 of my shrimp at once today, I was only able to see 6 at once before and was worried that I lost a couple, I've seen the WLOD before, but to be honest, it's kind of hard to...

I have some nettle in my yard and remember reading how it's a good green for shrimp. I blanched some and put it in my shrimp tank which also has some young mystery snails in it. THEY LOVE IT!! It seems like mostly the snails like it, I don't have many shrimp yet but I've seen them nibbling. The...

When I was a kid diatom filters were popular. Not sure if that's kind of the same thing or not.

I used plastic packing tape when I made a temporary one out of plastic. The plastic tape hinge worked better than the plastic pieces that were the lid because it was thin and warped. By that time I received my glass lid

The first ich massacre was a couple months ago, the survivors were healthy but fewer. To be honest I'm not absolutely sure they have it now, but I didn't want to wait until harm was done. I guess the thing that I noticed was how unstressed they are, and the water is so clear. The heat and salt...

I set them up then use the for plants and snails. Plus they're kind of small. But yeah, I should have and I have in the past. Before I put a Betta in them.

So I have a planted 20g tetra tank with neons, glolight, and black tetras. It's was a great tank until I got a piece of planted driftwood and ich broke out. I tried all the "natural" cures, which stressed my fish and I lost some. I even tried (without success) a couple different treatments...

Mom had them when I was small. She actually used them to explain the facts of life to me, lol! It was the PG fish version involving guppies and bettas, mom bred them. We continued to keep fish until I left home. Mom bred Egyptian mouth breeders, fire mouths, and other easy to breed species. I...

Bump to top. I just got some too.

Oh I am. I have some large basins I can use to raise some. I was warned by a friend about how many I'm going to have. Can the hatchlings be fed to fish? I like to feed my fish live food as much as I can. I'll ask around at the stores to see if they will take some. I don't have the room to...

I have a 5 gallon with a combtail Betta, a 10 gallon with a female koi Betta, and a 20 gallon with 15 neons. All tanks have plants and driftwood. It started with the combtail Betta, I was keeping jars of pond and ditch water to keep protozoa to look at under my microscope and decided a fish...

It's at the top of my 2.5 spare "tank" I put spare plants in and keep set up for emergencies. "Buttercup" was found on the floor after she crawled out of the tank she shares with a betta. I put her in the emergency tank and she recovered. It has a glass sheet that can cover the whole top...

I recently got a second mystery snail, which my current one immediately latched on to. Wasn't sure what was going on, it didn't look consensual, but when I searched the information was they can't hurt each other. I eventually put the new one in a different tank. Then last week I found the new...

It's not closed. I'll take a pic of mine tomorrow so you can see. There's a little hole on the bottom so the substrate can "breathe. If you stick them up high enough the leaves can be in the air if you don't have a cover over that part.
