Uhm... yeah ~ so I have snails in my betta tank and they've been there for like a year and a half ~ but THIS guy (pretty small so assuming he's newer) looks like THIS and I have 0 clue what it is?? Should I euthanize him? Is this poor snail care?? It looks so bizarre. He is still alive and...

Tank What is the water volume of the tank? -75 gallons How long has the tank been running? -1.5 Years Does it have a filter? -Aquaclear 70 Does it have a heater? -Yes What is the water temperature? -78-80 degrees Fahrenheit What is the entire stocking of this tank? - Glowlight Tetras (10) -...

I think that, looking back (upon both my experience and that of some close friends) the biggest obstacle to successful fish keeping is honestly the required consistency. It isn't that we were lazy - but when I erected my 75 gallon tank (upgrading from a 20 that I then promptly re-filled and...

I know that they probably won't survive, but I am proud nonetheless to have witnessed a LOT of breeding activity from my glowlight tetras in the community tank!! To my understanding they're difficult to breed with intention - too bad they're gonna eat the eggs :/ But their mating is sooooooo...

I am thinking of taking some trimmings and weaving them into some "floating" (glued to the back wall) glass decorations for my shrimp tank. I think it could look cool for it to just be suspended at the top above a pebbled bottom with lots of caves. My only concern rn is the light blockage -...

I originally bought the guppy grass with the intention of weaving it in/to the branches of this piece of spiderwood and trimming it so that it always just looked like a bush - but then I realized it grows FAST, and I just don't hate it enough to put in the effort xD Now I have this super cool...

Thanks so much!

This is true! But with the hunnies he ASSURED ME they were all female because I asked if I was //Right// to think they were males. The powders were more my fault than anyone else's because I chose to take that gamble and lost... maybe I need to make 3 more tanks so they can all have fully...

Don't mind me I'm only crying from the embarrassment

Two days ago, as with every day, I was scrutinizing my tank because I am incapable of relaxation. While scrutinizing what is supposed to serve as a promotion of "peace and wellbeing" within my home, I noticed a small red vine growing out of the space that I had planted my "Madagascar Lace...

I have many Gourami in my 75 gallon tank, and while they occasionally antagonize one another - for the most part they just mind their own business. I have 3 male honey gourami that are all in their mating jackets and peacefully nibbling at the plants all day, 3 male powder blue dwarfs that all...

Accidentally had a carpet of algae once in a 20 gallon tank... on my plants... oopsies I was using way too much light ~ back in the day and had to completely restart. A year later I also wanted that strong algae (because I have an obsession with pests for some reason). Anyways -- I found (and...

I. Love. Cubes. Idc what size I just like them. They're the best. I don't have any yet... but there is a HUGE antique bookshelf in my office.... I could fit like 12 cubes >_> I could be the keeper of all shrimp side by side.... I could. I could be like my heroes -- so far I've been able to...

Omg we are eyeing the same emerald Raspbora 0_0 they look SO cool. ~~~ If you're thinking of doing a central height aquascape with some plants: I would literally cap out on chili Raspbora or something else SUPER small to get as many as possible in there. That's indeed a bit of an odd shape for...

One of my three "female" gourami purchased from an LFS of questionable repute.
