invertebrates

Hi! I'm new, and I have some experience in fishkeeping (mostly 10 gallon domesticated Betta tanks) and I work at a PetSmart as an animal care specialist. Right now I am mostly focusing on my current Betta tank and snakes, so I haven't had a lot of plans for another tank any time soon, but an...

My fish recently had a bit of a stress with a water change after I left my tank a little too long before cleaning. My water is perfect but I think it stressed them out a bit. One of my endler guppies appears to have tail rot from what I can determine and a couple of my glow light tetras have a...

Hello! I have two endler fish in a ten gallon with 3 amino shrimp and 2 apple snails. The tank has been cycled since May and all has been well until about two weeks ago. One of my endlers has clamped fins while the other one seems perfectly normal. No signs of ich, weekly water changes, heater...

I’m thinking about adding a Dwarf Mexican Crayfish to my established 20 tall killifish and Cory tank. I’ve seen conflicting opinions on whether the crayfish will harass/eat the corys. I have 4 albino corys, 2 emerald. Is this a feasible combination or should I just skip out on the crayfish? I...

So, I've been trying to find information online, and unfortunately rabbit snails are a little harder to come by as far as information is concerned. I have 3 adult giant orange rabbit snails, and I've had them for several months. At least one if them is female, because she has dropped a few...

I definitely made a mistake getting a clam... i didn’t know much about them before I bought it and now I’m here... can they live in a gravel substrate? And how should they be positioned? I noticed mine tries to bury himself but ends up half in the gravel and half out, I’m not sure if this is normal.

Hi all! Wondering if I could get a blue crayfish for my tank? 230 litre tank - I currently have 1 dwarf gourami (male), 6 neon tetras, 8 platy fry, 4 danios and 5 amano shrimp. I've read they eat anything they catch - mainly slow moving fish. My shrimp are pretty quick and same with my fish...

Will invertebrate shedding result in an ammonia spike or just end up being food for fish and plants?

Hey guys I have a 3.5 gallon tank right now and I saw some African dwarf frogs at the store the other day and I thought they looked so cool! I haven't bought one, but I would like to. I've kept freshwater invertebrates before, so I have a little experience, just not with african dwarf frogs...

I am currently running a 16 gallon tank with a Fluval C3. I've always wanted an invert tank but have never actually gotten around to setting one up. I was thinking about breeding snails (pond snails, mystery, ramshorn, etc.) as well as cherry shrimp to raise as live food for my fish in the 55...

So my boyfriend and a few of his friends regularly go boating on a nearby river-lake and came back yesterday with a two liter bottle half full of water with about 10 freshwater jellyfish. I didn't believe him when he called me on his way back and told me what they'd found, but looking at them...

Looking to add some inverts to my tanks. Thinking either an urchin or starfish. I haven't started my reef yet but I know in the future I will be adding some zoas and polyps. What are some easy to maintain inverts that are also reef safe?
