Could you lure her out with some food?

Fenbendazole can hurt nerite snails, so you may want to check if it harms ramshorns.

I used coconut oil for all my aftercare. It has antibacterial properties, is easy to get, and doesn’t have any potential irritants in it. I also use dr. bronners’s baby soap to wash it. It’s important to get something that doesn’t have a bunch of added perfumes and stuff.

An 8.5 gallon is a fine size for cherry shrimp. They may get eaten though. I suggest giving them lots of places to hide.

Nice! Sounds like you have done your research. The itching sucks but it's only a few days for something that lasts a lifetime.

david1978 has a large tank with male and female bettas and can probably give some good advice. Pretty sure he ended up with the males in there by accident, too.

My biggest advice is to find a good tattoo artist whose style you like. Don't just walk into any random shop. You probably could get a betta done anywhere, but it's better to find someone who specializes in realistic, colorful tattoos (if that's the style you want). You may have to wait to get...

My guess is they died and got eaten, got eaten and died, or died and slowly decomposed. Could you have any pests in your tanks? I had some damselfly larvae that sneakily took out a decent amount of shrimp before I noticed them. Don’t underestimate the size of a predator’s belly. Depending on...

What environmental purpose were glofish designed for? I’ve never heard that before.

What size tank do you have? Bettas can be aggressive tankmates. They don't get along with many types of fish, especially in smaller tanks.

Nothing wrong with a betta eating snails! It's probably fun for him.

Use a sponge filter in a quarantine tank.

One thing about fish is there is a big difference between doing okay and thriving. Some fish prefer to be alone, but many fish prefer the company of their own kind. It makes them feel safer to be in groups. They aren’t going to die instantly if kept alone but the stress of being alone adds up. I...

Yes, that's what I was thinking. I remember my zebra loaches glass surfing when I had them in their minimum tank size (29 gallons). I moved them into a 90 gallon and they don't go near the surface.

How big is the tank?

So cute!

Back on topic: I think it is interesting how many of people's least favorite fish are ones that humans have altered, either through genetic engineering, tattooing/dying, or selective breeding. Or fish who are mistreated in aquarium settings. It seems many people's least favorite fish has little...

If you can, turn your filter off for an hour after you add the peroxide. Thus will prevent it from killing the bacteria in your filter. You can also cut back on feeding for a few weeks.

What size tank do you have?

I don't know what it is exactly, but there's no need for concern. It shouldn't do any harm to your fish or snail. It could be a dragonfly or damselfly larvae, which are predatory but will not hurt any of your critters unless you have fry or shrimp.
