Turn off the filter, use a toothbrush to scrape them off of leaves and then do a water change and turn the filter on. When tank is cycled you could get otos or shrimos depending on your tank size and a couple of nerite snails right now will also do the job, all these will clean the substrate as...

Most turtle need sort of paludrium type of setup because they like to be out of water as well. If you're not aplling to do that, drop the turtle. If you can do it and have a turtle then get fish and inverts that won't fit in its mouth. They are opportunistic and they will stay hiding till...

No its not understock. Angelfish get like atleast more than 6 inches over time.

Yes absolutely fine. I have a colony of cherry shrimp in a terrarium jar running for over a year. Just add good amount of plants and you will be fine. Just make sure to remove any decaying matter if the shrimps aren't eating them in a timely manner.

You should get your next betta from a different store/breeder or get it online, there are lots of reputed people selling them with safe transporation. Try to get a short finned ones like plakat bettas. And check at the store where you bought them from whether they had any fish death issues...

I would go with 6 cories and 12 ember tetras. Cories will most definitely breed if theres enough room, tetras are hard and even if they do the fry won't survive at all unless you have a very well established densely planted tank with acidic water and tannins. Cherry shrimp are a gamble, they...

He is keeping multis in it that means the water is alkaline and not acidic like most alage eaters like. Most of the plants will also melt away in the kind of water that multis live in. Algae will grow on things whether they are live or fake plants. Try plants that that are naturally found in the...

You either have a bit of ammonia in your tank or a lot of detritus that's why its smelling the whole room. Water change is the best way to keep clean water and also check your filter maybe that's a problem if its running for too long without taking out the dirt it will give off smell. There are...

Add some assasin snails, I have two of them in my tank along with Nerite , rabbit snails and a few military helmet snails. Assasins eat all other snails except these. Just don't add more than 2-3 assasins otherwise they will hunt down the bigger snails as well.

Best way to keep them happy is not to do anything and leave them be. They eat everything and all types of algae and your tank looks new just wait for a week or so and he will start munching on surfaces of all the hardscape. Don't freak out when you don't see them for a couple of days or even...

Angelsfish I don't think so unless you are getting the dwarf angelfish like leopold's angelfish. Frogs will either kill your snails or eat them. If I were you, I would stock yout tank with big school of one type of tetra either 8-10 of lemon tetras or cardinals or 10-12 neons or similar small...

These look like diatoms not cyanobacteria. Use some seachem excel every couple of days unless you have vallisneria it will melt any type of vals. If your stocking allows you to have otos and nerite snails keep them, they will clean evrything up in a few days.Or a single hillstream loach will...

You better do small water changes everyday and before feeding them soak the food in some garlic solution(basically crush the garlic in a tiny amount of water and put food in it for 5 minutes before feeding them), there are some solutions available from seachem which includes garlic and vitamins...

Yes. The tank has been running for nearly a year now. Yes its at 28.5 C. There are lots of hiding places.The tank has been running for close to 10 months-11 months. I started it when the pandemic hit and added more and more plants as time passed by. I couldn't find good quality rams so I waited...

So I got two German Blue Rams 3-4 days ago. They are currently alone in a 15 gallon with some nerite snails. They are only 1-1.5 inches big but they hide most of the time and whenever I try to feed them either small mini pellets or frozen bloodworms, they hide and don't eat..atleast not infront...
