Saw last week in the store, told myself if he was still there when I collected my Fluval 207 I’d buy him, and he’s all alone in my 8gal shrimp and snail tank. another couple of better quality shots now he’s calmed down;

I’ve read various things that you should normally keep 5-10 female Bettas for a properly functioning sorority, but in odd numbers so the hierarchy works itself out, plenty of hiding places for them, but I don’t think a 10g would be anywhere near enough for 5 females. was the tank cycled?

my Ramshorn do the exact same thing. Usually where I’ve left a algae disc for them and they’ve finished it, they seem like a snail explosion from the source of food. Not every day though, strangely.

Don’t do what I did and get Ramshorns, they reproduce like crazy and then they’re virtually impossible to eradicate.

I’ve ordered an external filter to free up some space in my tank and be easier to maintain etc., however I’m not too sure on introducing it to an established tank. should I hook the filter up to the tank with the existing one running in parallel to establish the bacteria?

Seen in a store. If I didn’t have one already I would have got this straight away as he’s beautiful.

I’ve read some places they can ‘hibernate’ for up to three years. Pinch of salt as it’s just stuff I’ve read online without verification but fairly believable.

Diolch richie.

I had to get 6 as an emergency measure to control a massive overpopulation of snails, they were all happily navigating the tank until about a month or two ago when they all vanished. Still plenty of snails for them to eat, I suspect they’ve had their fills and buried themselves for a bit of a...

In my main bigger tank I have sand on the base and gravel above, the plants I have seem to grow perfectly well in it. I've got a smaller tank just for snails and shrimp which has a Fluval Plant & Shrimp substrate with a thin layer of brown aquarium gravel above it, and the plants actually did...

I would love a clownfish because I find them so fascinating to look at, but I’m wholly unprepared and uneducated on saltwater tanks and it seems like such a mountain to climb that at this point I’ll just have to look at them when I visit my local store

Howdy guys. Ive got a 70L (15gal) tank, with 6 neon tetra, 6 Otocinclus, a 6 amano shrimp and a female Betta. Hope everyone is going good :)
