Just wanted to show my 10 gallon tank I’ve been leaving to grow with no maintenance :)

I've had this nerite snail for about a week now, and all has been fine. The past few days he's been hanging out under the filter, and today when I checked him, I saw this weird white string coming out from his butt(? Idk but its the opposite end as his antennae)

Is it just weird poop or something to worry about?

Hello! I was hoping someone might be able to assist with diagnosing why I seem to slowly be losing my Molly colony…

They seem to get progressively more lethargic until I find them on the bottom not moving much unless they get startled then pass soon after. Some of them seem to have some white lumps that looks more like pimples/cysts, rather than ich, of various sizes. I have once seen larger one burst but was unable to find the fish again to take a photo.

Water parameters are normal and it’s a well established planted tank: Ammonia: 0 Nitrites: 0 Nitrates: ~30

I just started dosing PraziPro since the closest thing I have been able to find is possibly skin flukes?

Any help is appreciated!

The Guy in the Fish Store told me it was a male But i am Not sure.. he is really bloated and I didnt feed them much…

I just put my “sick” guppy into a hospital tank. He was swimming on his side I literally mean fresh water from the tap with aqua safe literally nothing else now he’s swimming fine?? I thought he had swim bladder I literally just spent an hour setting up a hospital tank. What do I do? Do I treat for swim bladder or not?

So I have 3 tanks running right now 1 30 litre tank for orange shrimp and snails (with one internal filter) 1 100 litre tank for just aquatic plants(first time so not putting fish in yet) and my main tank which is 60 litre and I’m currently running a tetra whisper 15-20 gallon per hour ,unfortunately I only have duckweed in this tank and artificial plants ,I have 8 guppies 2 cobies and one bristlenose pleco living in the tank ,I have a spare smaller filter that I used previously in my shrimp tank ,would it be okay to add it in beside my filter or is there downsides to it ?

I have a 90 gallon tank, and I have 8 spotted silver dollars, is there anything else I should add?

Hello!! I have this aquarium hide that my ride just love, the rest of my tank is entirely natural wood and plants that provide hiding spots. I try my best to only use natural materials with my fish but they just really love this one basic plastic aquarium hide I got years ago. While cleaning their tank I noticed there’s some sharp edges inside the hide, I don’t want this to hurt them and was wondering if it would be safe to sand/buff down those edges with a dremel, then clean the plastic hide? I would just get rid of it but they really love it and would prefer to just make it safer. (Context if helps, I have a 50 gallon freshwater tank with 5 corys, 1 bristlenose pleco, and 1 rope fish. I noticed a while back the bristlenose had an injury which I quarantined and treated and he made a full recovery, but I suspect it’s from cutting himself on the sharp plastic)

One thing that will never make sense to me is the school size advice that pet stores give, like 3 or less corydoras is fine. It just doesn't make sense wouldn't they reccomend the right group size (6 or more) so they can make more money and at the same time the buyer and fish get a better experience?

Right now I have a 20-gallon planted tank with LOTS of guppies, around 4 octo cats, and one black kuhli loach. Along with mystery and ramshorn snails.

But at PetSmart they have a 55 on sale that would fit very well where my 20 sits. I have till February to get it. Ill sell my 20 and everything that goes with it if nobody in the family wants it. (if anyone has pointers on how to sell on Facebook let me know, Id like to sell some of the guppies as well)

I was thinking about the types of animals id put in the new tank and would like your input:

guppies (shorter/round fins), kuhli loach (a variety), more octos.

Small Schooling species like zebra danios and neon tetra

And the crap shoot list; Borneo loach, golden wonder killifish, Corydoras catfish, bumble bee gobies, shrimp (I know that ones is a stretch).

I thought about striped Raphael catfish because I've had them in the past and they were pretty neat, just to have as a peaceful centerpiece in a tank with smaller fish. But the size concerns me with any of the species that likes to stick to the ground. So maybe a spotted would do better because its smaller?

Either way, I want to create a complex aquascape with many plants and hiding spaces. I purposely chose fish like the golden wonder killifish, zebra danios, and neon tetra so they could prey and fed off of the guppy fry.

funny guy, its always this specific one that likes to swin up and lie on the leaf (the leaf is pressed against the glass)

had them for abt 4 months still no clue what they r like haha

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice regarding my 30L tank with Sakura shrimp. I’ve noticed that the shrimp population is slowly decreasing over time, and I suspect something isn’t right in the tank. Here are the details:

Tank Setup: • Size: 30 liters (approx. 8 gallons) • Temperature: No heater, room temperature fluctuates between 19–21°C (66–70°F). • Plants: The tank is well-planted with a variety of plants. • Algae: Despite the plants, there is algae present, which I suspect could be blue-green algae, though I’m not sure.

Water Parameters: • NO2, NO3, NH4, NH3: All at 0 ppm. • pH: 8. • Carbonate Hardness (KH): 5. • General Hardness (GH): 18. • Water Source: Tap water. • Water Changes: I perform a ~50% water change weekly.

Actions Taken: • Since the pH is 8, I’ve recently added a “teabag” with Indian almond leaves to try to lower it naturally. • The tank does not have a heater, unlike my other 120L tank, which I’ve been running successfully for over 15 years at 24°C (75°F) with no issues.

Observations: • My 120L tank has been stable for years, with healthy plants and fish. However, my Sakura shrimp in the 30L seem to struggle. • The shrimp often hide, and their numbers are dwindling gradually.

Questions: 1. Could the pH of 8 and/or high GH (18) be causing stress to the shrimp? 2. Is the lack of a heater an issue, considering the temperature stays between 19–21°C? 3. Could the algae (possibly blue-green) be harmful to the shrimp? If yes, how can I confirm and deal with it? 4. Are there other factors I might be missing that could lead to the shrimp not thriving?

I’d greatly appreciate any advice or tips from experienced shrimp keepers. Thanks in advance for your help!

i got these plants as a gift the other day but i wasn’t told what they were. i’ve never owned anubias but i think they like to be attatched to wood & rocks so i glued one onto my driftwood just incase

Just wondering what’s happening to my betta, it used to be completely blue bust has recently started changing colour. Just wondering if it’s normal or something wrong. Cheers

I did a ton of research to get to the right lights for my aquarium and landed in the Ireenuo ones that were the right size for my 60x30x30. I have other focals and didn’t like them because being more diffused and broad the ireenuo ones light up the back wall and give me the most spectacular views of my aquarium during the night. So far my favourite lights!

New aquarium owner asking how do you determine the volume of food to feed fish-specifically we have two gourami and they are actively eating a few pellets fed once a day. Insights and advice welcome!

My Khulis are so clownish! This little fella was doing this for a good 5 minutes before I decided to film it for posterity. Please forgive the neons doing the sexy dance.

Freshwater and about a foot long

Is the swimming up and down normal for bichirs? I’ve seen him swim around the tank like this but not in one corner before. If I get close to the tank he will stop.

Sooo i have owned fishes for 4 years now.. but i want something different like a betta or other fish. This tank is 70 Liters (18,4920437 gallons) i have owned all spiecies from tetra’s , guppies ect. Any suggestions? I would like groups with fish or 1 fish, just something more challenging! Help a girl out!!!

Noticed my neon tetra looked a bit weird (I fed them not to long ago) I’m not sure if he’s developing an illness or if he ate a bit to much, his tail seems pale to. I have noticed fin nipping between the neons maybe I should bump the numbers up from 6 to 8? Not sure what to do on that front but does he looks sick? (Tail appears even paler in pictures)
