Thank you for your advice! I got them for a month so far and been feeding them once every 2 days since then. Here is some pics for them, does this mean they losing weight? I will start feeding them daily now probably, but just want to know about their current situation.

Hey guys! I have a 10G semi-planted tank with 4 amanos, 6 ember tetras and 6 neon tetras. I'm feeding them once every 2 days now as I'm afraid of overfeeding them. Is this enough for my tank or should I feed them more frequently? I believe all shrimps and fishes pass their Juvenile stages. I...

Hey guys, Noticed that one of my pygmy belly is a bit red and it has a hard time swimming. These pygmy has been here for a month in a half, fishmates are ember tetras and amano shrimps. R there any type of disease or stress and how can I make it better? here is how it's swimming. just swim...

hi! yeah the picture looks pretty weird with my top lid light on when i take photo with it. the sand is not pink tho as i just did my weekly cleaning yesterday and the sand got sucked by the syphon looks normal to me. prob just lighting. here is another person's tank that has similar green...

Hey guys, Just noticed that some spots on the sand substrate from my 10 gal tank has some green spots. I did some research and it seems to be some algea, but i'm not sure what kind of algea is this and never knew algea grows on substrate as well. I had my tank light on 12 hours during night...

thank you! prob wont get a heater for this tank then as water is not hot at all for this tank. will look for a small hanging LED light for this as it doesn't receive natural sunlight during the day as my PC case is blocking it. great 3.5 gal tank! didnt know a tank with minimal to no effect...

thank you for the information! i'm planning to upgrade to a bigger tank just for shrimp in the near future as well. i dont have a thermometer and heater for this tank. my room temp is always at 24 degrees and i use the cooking thermometer to check the water temp. didnt check when the light is...

Hey guys, I have a 1.5 gallon tank with 3 shrimps and 1 ramshorn snail. Will definitely buy 2 more shrimps next week for a total of 5 shrimps and 1 ramshorn snail, but won't get more after that. Wonder how often should I do maintenance and water change for this tank? It's a small tank so I...

thank you, was thinking the same about overfeeding as well. i will reduce it and see how it goes! good to know that! i will monitor it and see how its growth rate and reproduction after feeding them less!

thank you! great to know that! i have a few questions about it tho: 1. how big will this kind of snail grow? i prob will put it in my 1.5 gal so i hope they won't get too big. 2. what kind of food should i give them? do i need to feed the snail algea waffle or is it good with any food (i...

thank you for your information! super helpful, i have no prior knowledge about snail at all. great to learn something new today. i prob sent a wrong link, here is the new link for it: Video Upload & Annotation - Gemoo

thank you, i think it might be a ramshorn as well, just not too sure about it. here's a video of how it roam over the water: Video Upload & Annotation - Gemoo i noticed it goes to the surface sometimes as well, upside down, maybe grasp for air or finding the food off the water surface?

thank you for the advice! yes i want to leave them a couple weeks as well, but my 1.5 gal doesn't have a filter right now, so i think the earlier i add the filter might be the better. thank you for the advice! will definitely consider this! not a hard/tough method at all! yes i have a small...

thank you for your advice! however, i want to move my old sponge from 10 gal tank to 1.5 gal tank as soon as i got my new one. so i wonder if there is some way to keep some of the bacteria from the old one. i also have 1 HOB filter for my 10 gal tank as a main filter. the sponge filter is...
