Looks like brown algae (diatomes) to me. Are the tanks or equipment new? Usually it shows up in new tanks, and will go away on it's own with water changes, as the tank matures. Nerite snails love the stuff, so if you were considering getting 1 or 2 they would help. If not, you can just rub it...

Hello, and sorry to hear about your betta. First things first, you need a test kit. You can get an API liquid kit for around 20 bucks. It will last forever. If you can't afford that, you can get strips, but they aren't as accurate and you must follow directions to a t. Make sure you get one...

They will eat them, but they're a little harder to get to since they dig in the sand. My assassins dig, but not that deep, so they prefer the ramshorns that stay above the sand.

I ordered my gh/kh test kit from amazon. You could always try to order online and pick up in store from one of the chain places.

That's a lot of snails! What is your feeding routine? My guess is, they are just hungry.

Just got a reply from glofish. Direct quote: "Thank you for writing us today. Yes, it is actually true! We released the launch date at Superzoo this week. Although I must say the real fish are much, much prettier! Barbara L. GloFish" The picture she is referring to is the one I linked...

Sometimes pet stores have "adoption tanks" they probably won't pay you for taking the fish but if you ask very nicely they may be willing to give you some store credit, or even a few, more appropriate, replacement fish. Never hurts to ask, the worst they can do is say no. Kudos to you for doing...

B&B Pet Stop

Just found it on facebook. Pic says coming February of 2020. I messaged glofish, will report back when/if I get a reply. Gotta say though, the of a bright green glowing betta, with green eyes, is.. Unsettling, at least imo.

I would be more concerned with why they ate the sponge filter. Are they getting a proper, varied diet? They were probably eating food that got sucked into it, and went a bit overboard, but if they did that, I would think they're just really hungry. I keep mysteries in 3 different aquariums, all...

Try craigslist too. I bet some people would take them off your hands if you give them away free. As for the shells, if your very serious you could make some snail jello with added calcium tablets crushed up in it, or dose liquid calcium, ir even let them chew on an unflavored tums. If you have...

Where? There's nothing about it on the glofish website, or anywhere else that I can find.

My 2 female thicklips used to do it all the time. Never hurt each other but it could get pretty intense. They didnt stop until they got moved into my 55 gallon community, about 6 ish months or so after I got them. They started in quarantine and moved from there to a 20 gallon, to a 30, and...

Hello! Yes, mystery snails are prolific poppers. Depending on your substrate, it may or may not show up. I find most of my snail poop right on the edges of the tank, from them climbing the glass. Snails are weird, sometimes they go dormant for a few days. I have some that are very active, some...

I would would just put a little terra cotta dish in the tank. Like the kind that go under planters to catch the water.
