What you should do is put that tank on another support because that table doesn't look very stable in the photo. The tank also doesn't look like being perfectly horizontal, you can see that from the water line.

Thank you. Yea I read that. I will let them do their thing for the moment. I have an Anentome Helena waiting in another tank to join the party if they get out of hand. She already handled a pest snail invasion once all by herself although I only wanted to "reduce" the population. o_O

That might be what it is yes, never had those before. Thats fine. And I think I may have found what that moss is. Looks like LEPTODICTYUM RIPARIUM or Stringy Moss. I'll keep it.

Hello guys, So I have started my second tank a couple weeks ago. 120L Juwel. Everything going pretty well except the UG I wanted to try which is melting away.. but I was expecting that anyways. The tank is in its brown diatoms phase since a few days. Adding a picture. I'll see if I remove the...

One of my relatives has a tank that has been sitting in a corner for 2 years without any fish, half the water evaporated, no filtration or heater, a low light source and a hundred pest snail shells on the bottom. There is an Anubia in there, not sure what variety, a medium sized one. That plant...

I can ensure you that adding some Anubias, or any other low maintenance plants, won't add any more work to what you already have. It will actually make the livestock maintenance a little bit easier.

You should write a song about it.

2) My pygmy cories generally all go for some air on the surface all together. If one goes, they all go. I haven't tried to count the time between each breath they go but more often while being active during the day and after dinner. That's pretty normal for cories. You will see them 'poop' some...

I am updating this because I still have no clue what these shrimp babies are and where they came from. So, they defnitely didn't came with plants because there are now litterally dozens and dozens all around the tank. I would say there's probably easily between 50 and 100 in there. That's...

I added foam before and right after the motor where the skimmer is located. I did that to avoid any fry or shrimp getting sucked in. I just carved out a single piece of foam so it fits inside. It works very well. You can barely see it through the holes. I made a small drawing on paper to show...

I had Ich on some of my Chili boraras when I started. I treated them along with all my other critters at the same time (dwarf craysfish, Amanos, Neocaridinas, pygmy cories, various snails). Maybe that was not the best way to do it but I have only one tank so I couldn't quarantine them. Anyways...

I have a Tidal, am sleeping next to it, like 2 meters away. There is litterally zero sound. Now that is a Tidal 35, maybe the bigger ones are louder.. But by that much?

I'm not an expert as others here are but would you mind sending a pic of your tank and shrimp if you can? Maybe theres something else we could spot. Also another thing that may be silly but you never know.. you said there were ghost shrimp in there before. Where did they go? Are you sure they...

Looks to me as if the tank isn't cycled. Also the carbon may not help at all but I'll leave others on here to confirm this. I have no carbon in my shrimp tank. Also, the Babaulti are Caridinas right? The blue ones Neocaridinas? You should check what exactly you have, they have different needs in...

My personal reason for not using all these chemicals to start an aquarium cycle is because it works perfectly fine without them. All I need is plants and fish food every day as if there were fish in there for like a month. Once the cycle is finished, I add whatever livestock I want and just...

A little bit blurred but I like the colors in early morning. (I'll try to get a better one when the sun returns one day..):

My tank from a few months ago in its early stages.

Yes, I top up with water I always have prepared in a bucket used only for that purpose and prepare that water once a week to use through the week. KH:10 / PH:7.0
